The pair in the Hart collection are dated February, 
1881. 
Mr. Chalkley, the well-known naturalist of Winchester, 
informed Mr. Sutton Davies in 1891 that he knew of a 
specimen obtained at Ovington not long before. 
Lord Portsmouth, writing to Kelsall in February, 1893, 
says that during the previous December he shot in the 
osier-beds at Hurstbourne " what appears to be the 
ferruginous duck," and adds that it was being preserved. 
This species is omitted from Mr. Meade- Waldo's list. 
It is a native of Eastern and Southern Europe and 
the temperate parts of Asia, visiting India in the cold 
season. 
Genu s — Clangtila, 
182. Clangula glaucion, 6oldon-eye. 
A winter visitor to the coast, occasionally straying to 
inland water. 
Colonel Hawker mentions shooting examples at 
Alresford — on January i8th, 1826, "one golden-eye, one 
morillon" — but on a later date, February 13th, 1829, on 
shooting two golden-eye off Keyhaven, in a note he says, 
" The golden-eye is here provincially called ' gingler ' or 
* ginging curre ' from the noise of its wings. Bewick 
speaks of the morillon ; and Leadbeater, our great London 
ornithologist, laughs at him, and says that what he calls 
the morillon is only the golden-eye, which never is in 
high feather till a certain age, and even then not till 
the spring of the year. So one or the other must be 
wrong." His total bag was twenty-one.
