Merganser serrator . 
Boston Harbor, Mass. 
1879. (Shooting party on a tug by invitation of Mr. Andrew Ward) 
Jan. 24. We also bagged a pair of Sheldrake (Mergus serrator)- an im- 
mature male and an adult female. This species 'was, however, 
in raost cases shy enough to ensure its safety, tho' not near- 
ly so shy as the Whistlers.
