FIG. 32. THE GREAT CRESTED GREBE. 



The two figures here shown are copied from Mr. Julian S. Huxley's re- 

 markable paper on the courting habits of the Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps 

 cristalns), which will be found in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society 

 of London for 1914. The elaborateness of ceremonial is very striking 

 and instructive. The upper figure shows a female in the so-called " cat- 

 attitude " of display ; it is also exhibited by the male. The lower figure 

 shows the so-called "penguin dance " of the pair, in which they often 

 hold weed in their mouths.
