The large Eastern Asiatic representative of Colymbus grisegena Bodd. 

 is usually designated by the name C. cucullatus Pall.* An examination 

 of Pallas's account of the latter in his ZoographiaEosso-Asiatica, renders 

 plain that he only had the European and West Siberian form before 

 him, and that consequently the name becomes only a synonym of grise- 

 gena proper. 



In the first place about the habitat. He says : " In Rossiae et SibiriiB 



*Taczanow8ki writes persistently " P. cucullatus Lath." I have not been able to 

 find such a name in Latham's writings.
