Fish and Game

Curator James of the State Museum

animation of the black duck, found froz-
Ell to death on the ice at Portland AMI
sent to the curator by George Orr. presi-
Gent of the Maine Sportsmens Fish ana
Game Association. 1t was expected nat
the duck would be found to be much
emaciated, starvation undoubtedly havin.
contributed largely to its death, but
hardly that the skin and homes only
would be found. Such was the fact
The strangest thing found, however,
back near the tail, where the oil glands
are located in a bird, apparently having
been made by itself or other ducks and
extending through the body into the
cavity, II was of considerable area and
showed the straights to which the ducks
had arrived
Mr. James said that he had seen similar
wounds on some of his own flock Of gold
en- pheasants and hens were known to
do the same thing. He attributes it
largely TO the lack OF some particular
kind of food which is necessary to them
and they find it in the oil glands b.
cause generally change of diet causes
the picking at that place to cease.

for mounting and was destroyed, after
