Long-tailed Duck. Anas Qlacialis. The eggs of this bird can 
hardly, if at all, be distinguished from those of the Pintail, unless 
something more may be depended on than their appearance ; hence, 
those of both species, which have not been carefully kept separated 
from the first, or differently marked, are of no value whatever. 
Fortunately the Long-tailed Duck is a much later breeder than the 
other, which tends to diminish the difficulty.

Golden-eye. Anas Clang ula. This bird was, last season, re- 
markably scarce, and its eggs accordingly were in great request. 
Not a single nest was brought in to Mr. Wolley’s chief collector, 
and he had some difficulty in begging tile following five eggs from 
bis hostess’s winter store, at the risk of materially injuring his fare 
for the rest of the year.
