Latham, the Brown Duck of the British 
Zoology, and le Morillon of Buffbn, &c. 
The Tufted Duck is an inhabitant of all 
the northern parts of Europe, and is also 
found in North America. It is not uncom- 
mon with us in winter, and is frequently 
seen in our fresh waters as late as the latter 
end of the month of March or beginning 
of April. They are very difficult to shoot 
on account of their incessant diving.
