. American ornithology, or, The natural history of the birds of the United States [microform]. Birds; Oiseaux. 128 HARLEQUIN DUCK. lays ten white eggs on the grass; the young are prettily speckled. It is found on the eastern continent as far south as Lake Baikal, and thence to Kamtschatka, particularly up the river Ochotska; and was also met with at Aoonalashka and Iceland.* At llud-son's Bay it is called the Painted Duck, at Newfoundland and along the coast of New England, the Lord; it is an active vigorous diver, and often seen in deep water, considerably out at sea. The Ilarlequin Duck, so called from the singularity of its markings, is seventeen inches in length, and twenty-ciglit inches in extent; the bill is of a moderate length, of a lead color tipped with red, irides dark; upper part of the head black ; between the eye and bill a broad space of white, extending over the eye, and ending in reddish; behind the ear a similar spot; neck black, ending below in a circle of white; breast deep slate, shoulders or sides of the breast, marked with a semi- circle of white; belly black; sides chestnut; body above black or deep slate, some of the scapulars white; greater wing coverts tipped with the same; legs and feet deep ash ; vent and pointed tail black. The female is described as being less, " the forehead, and between the bill and eye, white, with a spot of the same behind, the ear; head, neck, anil buck, brown, palest on the fore part of the neck ; upper part of the breast and rump red brown, lower breast and belly barred palo rufous and white ; behind the thighs rufous and brown ; scapulars and wing coverts rufous brown ; outer greater ones blacki.'^h ; quills and tail dusky, the last inclining to rufous; legs dusky."* The few specimens of this Duck which I liave met with, were all males; and from the variation in their colors it appears evident that the young birds undergo a considerable change of ])luniage l)efore they arrive at their full colors.
