Notes on Hybrid Ducks from Long Point, Ontario. — Among a 
number of ducks recently shot at Long Point, Ontario, was an interesting 
hybrid between Anas rubripes and A. platyrhynchos. It was an immature 
male, and every character which normally distinguishes the two species was 
about evenly merged in this bird. It was large, weighing three and a quarter 
pounds, and was the second hybrid of the same parentage to have been 
taken on these grounds. The first was a more mature bird, taken about 
1912 (now mounted at the Long Point Club) showing vermiculation in 
the plumage, which the younger specimen lacks. 
A fine adult male European Widgeon was taken here on October 12, 1914, 
and is also in the club collection.— Lotus Agassiz Fitertes, Ithaca, N. Y.
