A late Wood Dock.— A gentleman living on 
the outskirts of the city brought me a male 
Wood Duck (dix sponsa ), which his hound pup 
caught in a brook about January 1st, while out 
for a run. It was kept in a cage a short time 
and then died. Upon examination X found that 
the primaries of one of the wings had been cut 
off, probably by a shot, and this was the reason 
of its late delay at this place. With the excep- 
tion of the loss of the primaries, and its tail, 
which was worn ragged by confinement in the 
cage, it was in perfect plumage.
