EXPLANATION OF THE PLATES. 
[The figures were drawn from my notes and rough sketches by Miss Woodward, 
to whom I am much indebted for the interest and_ care she has shown. Taken as a 
whole, they give a far more graphic and accurate idea of the birds’ general appearance 
and behaviour than any other illustrations of which I know. | 
All figures refer to Podiceps cristatus. 
PruateE I. 
Fig. 1. Head and neck, showing ruff and ears relaxed. 
2. Resting attitude. Note the position of the head, and the curve of breast 
and rump. In most figures these are erroneously represented. 
3. Search (Dundreary) attitude. Note the ears relaxed, the crest spread 
longitudinally (sometimes it may touch the water).
