MORILLON

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 837 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MORILLON , a name commonly given by fowlers to the
female
  or immature male of the
GOLDEN
 -EYE (q.v.), the Clangula glaucion of
modern
  ornithology, under the beliefwhich still very generally obtains among them, as it once did among naturalists that they formed a distinct
species
  of
duck
 . The
mistake
  no doubt originated in, and is partly excused by, the facts that the birds called Morillons were often of opposite sexes, and differed greatly from the adult male
Golden
 -Eye, whose full and beautiful plumage is not assumed until the second year. The word is used in
French
  in precisely the same form, but it is in that language applied to the Tufted
Duck
 , Fuligula cristata, and is derived, according to
Littre
 , from more, signifying
black
 . (A. N.)
