ANNOTATED LIST OF BIRDS/ 



Order PYGOPODES. Diving Birds. 

 Family Podicipidas. Grebes. 



1 (2). Holbcell's Grebe; Red-necked Grebe. Co- 



lymbus holboellii [Reinh.). 



A very rare and casual fall and winter visitor. I have never 

 observed this species here, but, during the winter of 1879, Mr. W. E. D. 

 Scott saw a single individual on the canal. This is the only record 

 of the occurrence of Holbcell's Grebe in this locality. 



2 (3). Horned Grebe. Colymbus auritus Linn. 



A regular but never common migrant on all the water courses, 

 occurring during the fall until the ponds are frozen over, and again 

 during March and April. Never in summer. 



3 (6). PiED-BiLLED Grebe ; Hell-diver. Podilym- 



bus podiceps {Linn.). 



Still a common species during migrations, but, owing to indis- 

 criminate gunning, it is fast decreasing in numbers. A dozen of these 

 birds can generally be seen on any of the ponds during the fall and 

 spring months, but, so far as is known, none remain to breed. 



Family Alcidae. Auks, Murres, etc. 



4 (31). Brunnich's Murre. Uria lomvia {Linn.). 



There are but two records of the occurrence of this northern 

 species in this locality. On November 25, 1899, Mr. C. F. Silvester 

 found one expiring after having flown against a telegraph wire on Mt. 

 Lucas. This bird is at present in the University Collection, No. 6937. 



^NoTE. — Many of the Water Birds recorded in the following list as not 

 wintering here, would visit us during the colder months were it not for the fact 

 that there is little open water, the ponds ueing small and always freezing over.
