§ 5072. Five—Sandgerdi, 6 July, 1858. 
[These two sets (the first from a nest of three) were taken and marked as 
above by Mr. Wolley, but not entered by him in the Egg-book, the pool at 
Sandgerdi being, as already mentioned, very close to that at Flankastadr, At 
the former place I saw on the 18th of June a nest built among and on a patch 
of bog-bean, in a broadish channel between two islets. The proprietor’s son 
got out to it, and took the two eggs it held, which I afterwards gave to 
Mr. Percy Godman. I could just see, one of them as I stood on the brink. I 
afterwards saw a Grebe come quite close to the nest, and it appeared, as all the 
Grebes on this and the adjoining water at Flankastadr, to be a Horned Grebe. 
The third egg of Mr. Wolley’s nest of the 18th of June was sold at Mr, Stevens’s, 
31 May, 1860, to Mr. Braikenridge. ]

PODICIPES NIGRICOLLIS, Brehm. 
EARED GREBE. 
§ 5074. One.—From the Geneva Museum, 1846. 
All the man’s eggs, if I remember, were of the neighbourhood, and 
this bird probably breeds in the Swiss lakes. It is rather smaller 
than the egg of the Horned Grebe, as is the bird itself.
