The sixth genus, Mergus , Merganser, contains three well known 
species, which, commonly shot and of rare beauty, are all nearly 
worthless as articles of food, so rank and fishy is their flesh. 
They are, as follows : 
1. The Goosander— vulg. Sheldrake— Mergus Merganser ; 
2. The Red-breasted Merganser, Mergus Senator ; and 
3. The Hooded Merganser, Mergus Cucullatus. 
* I once doubted whether this Duck was not identical with the Garga- 
ney of Europe, Anas Querquedula, but am now satisfied that they are 
distinct birds. 
t This I believe to be the same with the European Pochard.
