GREBE, RED-NECKED. 



PODICEPS EUBEICOLLIS, Lath. 



This species is common during winter in Great 

 Britain, but rare in summer. It lias 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 during summer. 



GREBE, SCLAVONIAN, OR HORNED. 



PODICEPS CORNUTUS, Lath. 



This Grebe is rather larger than the Eared 

 Grebe, which species it very much resembles in 

 plumage during winter. It is 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.
