COLYMBID^E. 241 



active rowers in a galley, and captured after a long 

 chace. This specimen is now in my collection. 

 The forepart of the neck exhibits a considerable 

 portion of the ferruginous plumage peculiar to the 

 breeding-season. 



SCLAVONIAN GREBE, Podiceps cornutus. Sel- 

 dom found in the adult state ; but the young 

 the dusky grebe of Bewick has been frequently 

 obtained. 



LITTLE GREBE or DABCHICK, Podiceps minor. 

 Provincial, Mole-diver. Common on ponds and 

 sluggish streams in the interior of the county. 



GREAT NORTHERN DIVER, Colymbus glacialis. 

 Old birds are scarce, but immature examples are 

 killed every year on the coast, and occasionally in 

 the interior. 



BLACK- THROATED DIVER, Colymbus arcticus. 

 Appears to be the most uncommon of the three 

 divers, particularly in the perfect state of plumage. 

 I have a remarkably fine adult specimen which 

 was shot in Chich ester Harbour during the winter 

 of 1845. I have seen another in the museum 

 of the Mechanics' Institute at Hastings, which 

 was killed in that neighbourhood ; and a third in 

 the Chichester collection which was sent from 

 Selsey. Immature birds have frequently been 

 obtained on the coast. 



RED-THROATED DIVER, Colymbus septentrio-
