Green-winged teal made up a fairly uniform proportion of the 
kill in the different States across the northern portion of the 
Flywaye They were relatively less numerous in the southern than 
in the northern States. The green-winged teal was the second 
commonest species in the bag in Iowa and Illinoise [It ranked third 
in Ohio and fourth in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. 
Gadwalls made up a small portion of the kill in nearly every 
State in the Flyway. Ohio was the only State from which no gadwall 
wings were received (except for Kentucky, from.which the total 
sample was inadequate). The poor geographic distribution of the 
Louisiana sample probably reduced the proportion of gadwall wings 
received. 
American widgeon made up a consistently small propartion of 
the kill in all States. 
Shovelers were less common than American widgeon but appeared 
to compose about the same proportion of the kill in all States of 
the Flyway. 
Pintails made up a relatively small portion of the kill 
throughout the Flyway except in Louisiana, where they made up 
16.3 per cente The sample was concentrated in the western 
portion of the State. 
The wood duck made up 23.5 per cent of the total kill in Ohio, 
almost equalling the mallard. Wood ducks also may be substantial 
components of the kill in Indiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. 
Samples from these States were small, however. 
Both redheads and canvasbacks made up very small percentages 
of the total kill and these primarily in the more northern States. 
Redheads were approximately twice as numerous in the kill as were 
canvasbacks. Redheads formed 4.8 per cent of the kill in Michigan, 
their largest fraction in any State kill. 
Lesser scaup made up 10 per cent or more of the kill in 
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Alabama. It was the second 
commonest species, in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois and third 
commonest in Michigan, Iowa, Missouri, and Alabama. The poor 
distribution of the sample in Louisiana probably reduced the 
proportion of lesser scaup. 
Ring-necked ducks were most abundant in the bag in the northern 
most and southern most States of the Flyway. They made up 8.8 per 
cent of the kill in Minnesota and 6.6 per cent in Wisconsin. They
