Anas carolinensis. 1897. September 4 shot by a Mr. Nichols in the Cardassagun opposite the entrance to Leonard's Pond. It was alone. He started it from the grass on the river bank. I afterwards found the wings which I took to be those of an adult ♀. The tips of the primaries were worn & forked. 1898 Sept. 15 A Leal, almost certainly of this species but not actually identified; came one Mason Point this evening flying in company with four Black Ducks. The Green wing is very fond of consorting with Black Ducks but I do not think that the Blue wing was due to.
