GREBE, RED-NECKED. 
PODICEPS RUBRICOLLIS, Lath. 
This species is common during winter in Great 
Britain, but rare in summer. It has been found, 
as well as all other species of Grebes, in the Frith 
of Forth, Northumberland, Devonshire, and various 
other parts of England. It is not uncommon in 
America, and is abundant in the eastern parts of 
Europe. The uniform reddish chestnut colour on 
the neck, from which the species derives its name, 
is observed only durmg summer. 
GREBE, SCLAVONIAN, OR HORNED. 
Popicers cornutus, Lath. 
This Grebe is rather larger than the Hared 
Grebe, which species it very much resembles in 
plumage during winter. It 1s more extensively dis- 
tributed in this country, where it occasionally 
breeds. It is abundant in the northern and tem- 
perate parts of both continents, where it also 
breeds. Its nest, for which it chooses a situation 
similar to that of the other Grebes, is a somewhat 
bulky construction. Its eggs are of the same 
shape as those already described.
