YarreU derived his description. It is, however, stated by Audubon as being abundant in winter on the eastern coast of America, as far south as the mouth of the Mississippi. In Labrador he found a female on its nest in a marsh ; the nest was snugly placed amidst the tall blades of a bunch of grass, and was raised fully four inches above the roots. It was composed of withered and rotten weeds, the former being circularlj' arranged over the latter, producing a well- rounded cavity, six inches in d...iameter, and two and a half deep ; the border of the inner cup being lined with down from the birds after the manner of the Eider Duck. In it lay five eggs, the smallest he had ever seen in a Duck's nest. They are ec^ually roimded at both ends, about two inches and a half long, and an inch and five-eighths in their greatest breadth ; the shell perfectly smooth, and of a uniform yellow colour.
The plumage of the bird is soft, dense, and glossy ; the feathers of the head and neck blended and velvety ; the wings short, narrow, and pointed ; the upper mandible orange red, the protu- berance on each side yellowish grey ; at the base is a large square THE GOOSANDER.
