Additional Records of the European Widgeon (Mareca fenelope ) in 
Indiana. — My last record of this duck for Indiana was noted in ‘ The 
Auk,’ Vol. XVI, 1899, p. 270. 
An adult male was killed March 27, 1903, on the Englis Lake marshes 
by Mr. James M. McKay and the mounted bird is now in his possession. 
While he came to the decoy alone, there were several flocks of his Amer¬ 
ican cousins on the marsh at the time, in whose company he had undoubt¬ 
edly been. 
Mr. Harry Ehlers of Chicago, has in his collection of mounted ducks, 
an adult male which he shot April 7, 1898, and a female shot March 28, 
1898. This pair was taken on the Kankakee marshes near Thayer, 
Indiana. Another male was killed by Mr. Peter Willem of Chicago, near 
the same locality on March 31, 1902, and the mounted specimen is in his 
possession. 
As a specimen was captured on Licking Reservoir, Ohio, in 1902, 1 and 
three others on the Monroe marshes, Michigan, in 1900 and 1902. 2 These 
records bring the number to seventeen for the interior and nine for the 
State of Indiana. It is not a little strange that all these Indiana birds 
should have been taken along the Kankakee River during a period of 
twenty-two years. — Ruthven Deane, Chicago , III.
