SCAUP DUCK 171 
but in north-western England is a sparing winter visitor, 
though nesting in many other parts of that country and of 
Scotland. Mr, Oldham thinks it breeds in Anglesea. In 
Ireland it has within the last twenty-five years established 
itself as a resident in many counties, as Antrim, Armagh, 
and Monaghan; and it is a fairly numerous winter visitor 
in localities where it does not breed. 
The Tufted Duck has been known to breed in Orkney, 
but not in Shetland, where, however, it is of frequent 
occurrence. As far as our present information goes it is 
scarce in the Outer Hebrides. 
FULIGULA MARILA (Linn.). SCAUP DUCK. 
Whether from lack of competent observation or other- 
wise, little is known of the Scaup on Manx waters ; but as 
it is a pretty common winter migrant all round us, there 
can be little doubt that it is of regular occurrence on our 
coast, though in the absence of deep bays and estuaries, its 
visits are probably seldom prolonged. 
Mr. Kermode states that he has Manx specimens of both 
male and female; the former, a fine example, shot at Sulby 
3rd February 1885. (The appearance of this species on 
inland waters in Britain is exceptional.) 
In 1891 several locally-killed specimens appeared in 
Douglas poulterers’ shops, and the local taxidermist stuffed 
two specimens (drake and duck) during that winter. Early 
in 1893 other specimens were obtained on our shores. 
The Scaup is a numerous winter visitor to the northern 
coast of Ireland, and frequents Lough Neagh also. It 
sometimes appears in Galloway in large flocks, and is not 
uncommon on the estuaries of Cumberland and Lancashire,
