Clangula c.americana. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1896. While we were searching the islands near Sweat's meadow June 5. a female Golden-eye came flying about over the meadow utter- ing her krur-krur-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca incessantly. Half an hour later we found her nest in a tall larch stub 40 ft. above the water. There was a good deal of down adhering to the entrance hole (which was nearly round and scarce larger than a Flick- er's) as well as to the upper branches of the tree so our expectations were raised high but when Watrous cut into the trunk he found only an addled egg and a number of egg shells from which the young had evidently only recently escaped. No doubt the brood were swimming or hiding somewhere near but we saw nothing of them.
