Clangula nyemalTs^ — There have been IT large number of Old-squaws 
frequenting most of the larger ponds on the Island this winter (1891-92), I 
I — ’ n the Long Pond as many as seven or eight hundred, — also a large 
j number in the Hummuck and Miacomet Ponds. They came in from the 
outside (Sound) before sunrise and went out again about sunset to roost at 
night in the Sound. While they frequent the ponds more or less every 
winter, nothing like the present numbers have been noted before. 
They preferred to submit to almost any amount of shooting at them 
| rather than abandon the ponds where they had been living. Even on 
May 1, 1892, I noted as many as forty or fifty in each of the three ponds 
above mentioned. » ,
