THE BIRDS OF ALGERIA. 15 



24. THE RED-NECKED GREBE Podiceps rubricollh 

 (Gmelin), is said to breed sparingly in Algeria and 

 Morocco, but is chiefly known as a winter visitor. 

 Taczanowski met with this species at the Fezzara

 observed it during winter in the northern portion 

 of the Sahara sub-region.
