. American ornithology, with notes by Jardine. To which is added a synopsis of American birds, including those described by Bonaparte, Audubon, Nuttall, and Richardson, by T.M. Brewer. Birds. 612 THE MALLARD. From the end of the last shooting, a person cannot see the lalre, owing to the bend of the pipe: there is then no further occateion for shelter. Were it not for those shootings, the fowl that remain about the mouth of the pipe would be alarmed, if the person driving the fowl already under the net should be exposed, and would become so shy as to forsake the place entirely. The first thing the decoy-man does when he approaches the pipe, is to take a piece of lightedturf or, peat, and hold it near his mouth, to prevent tlie fowl smelling him. He is at- tended by a dog taught for the purpose of assisting him; he walks very silently about half-way up the shootings, where a small piece of wood is thrust through the reed fence, which makes an aperture just sufficient to see if any fowl are in; if not, he walks forward to see if any are about the mouth of the pipe. If there are, he stops and makes a motion to his dog, ' and gives him a piece of cheese of something to eat; upon receiving it he goes directly to a hole through the reed fence, (No. 1, ) and the fowl iromediately fly off the bank into the water; the dog returns along the bank, between the reed fences and the pipe, and comes out to his master at the hole, {No. 2.) The man now gives him anotlier reward, and he repeats his round again, till the fowl are ath-acted by the motions of the dog, and follow him into the mouth of the pipe. This operation is called working them. The man now, retreats farther back, working the dog at different holes till the fowl are sufficiently under the net; he now commands his dog to lie down still behind the fence, and goes forward to the end of the pipe next the lake, where he, takes off his hat and gives it a wave between the shooting; all file fowl under the net can see him, but n
