Qadwall ( Chaulelasmus streperus ). 
Only seventeen gadwall were banded daring the coarse of this work 
but of these returns came from four individuals. As all were killed in 
the Immediate vicinity of the mouth of Bear River during the same year 
in which they were set at liberty (save possibly in one instance) they 
offer nothing in regard to possible lines of migration for the present 
species. Only one of the records for this species is worthy of comment* 
an individual given its freedom August 27* 1916* that was killed below 
« r 
Willard, Utah about October 12, 1916. Others lived at liberty only a 
comparatively short time. A detailed statement concerning these few 
records follows: 
UTAH ; (mouth of Bear Rlvsr^) Two banded September 11, 1915$ recovered 
respectively October 1, and between October 1 and 8, 1915. landed 
August 27, 1916; recovered about Ootober 12, 1916. One whose band was 
lost before the number was recorded was killed in the fall of 1915. 
This bird may have been one of three marked the previous year or may 
have been released during 1915. 
All birds were banded and released near the mouth of Sear River, 
\ 
Utah.
