Podiceps auritus (Z.). Sclavonian Grebe. 
Winter visitant, not uncommon on the coast and inland, from 
October to sometimes as late as the end of April. With 
the exception of the Dabchick (P. fuviatilis) Mr. Cordeaux 
considers this to be the most numerous of the Grebes 
visiting the Humber. An adult female, in full summer 
plumage, was shot at Flamborough on the 29th of October, 
1874. 
. Podiceps nigricollis (C. Z. Brehm). Eared Grebe. 
Casual visitant, of very rare occurrence. 
Huggate, one, Dec. 8th, 1849 (Graham, Zool., 1850, p. 
2747). 
Scarborough, one, Feb., 1855 (Roberts, Zool., 1855, p. 4660). 
Bubwith, adult male, 1854 (Boynton, MS.). 
Wakefield, one at Thornes, Feb., 1861 (Talbot, Birds of 
Wakefield, p. 31). 
Hull, a female, Feb. 20, 1864 (Boulton, Zool., 1864, p. 
9048). 
Ripon, one, in the possession of Mr. Parkin, was shot close 
to the city (Slater, MS.). 
Podiceps fluviatilis (Zuzsta//). Little Grebe. 
Resident, generally though thinly distributed. Decidedly less 
frequent on the higher lands of the county, though a pair’ 
or so breed at as high an elevation as Malham Tarn—1250 
feet above sea level. Also a winter visitant, arriving in 
October.
