172 BIRDS OF GUERNSEY. 



full breeding-plumage there can be no possibility 

 of confounding the two species. 



The Sclavonian Grebe is included in Professor 

 Ansted's list, but only marked as occurring 

 in Guernsey. There are two specimens in the 

 Museum, one in full breeding-plumage and one in 

 winter plumage. 



151. Eed-necked Grebe. Podiceps griseigena, 

 Boddaert. French, "Grebe jou-gris." — I have 

 never seen a Channel Island specimen of the Eed- 

 necked Grebe in full breeding-plumage as I have 

 the Sclavonian, but it is a tolerably regular autumn 

 and winter visitant, and in some years appears to 

 be the more numerous of the two. Certainly in 

 November, 1875, this was the case, and the Ked- 

 necked Grebe was commoner than either the Great- 

 crested or the Sclavonian Grebe, especially about 

 the Guernsey coast between St. Peter's Port and 

 St. Samson's, where I saw several ; and a good 

 many were also brought into Mr. Couch's about the 

 same time more than usual. One which I obtained 

 had slight traces of the red about the throat 

 remaining, otherwise this one was like the others 

 which I saw in complete winter plumage.
