Colymbus holbodlii (Reinh.). Holbcbll's Grebe. — 

 On May 13, 1917, I saw one of these birds on 

 Sunken Lake in the Black River district. It was 

 near the shore and was readily distinguished from 

 auritus and podiceps by its much larger size. 1 have 

 a record of this species from Lunenburg County, but 

 this is the first for Kings. 



Colymbus auritus Linn. Horned Grebe. — ^Rare tran- 

 sient. Only one record; a specimen in immature 

 plumage taken in December, 1890, by D. R. Munro, 

 of Wolfville, near the mouth of the Gaspereau 

 River. This bird was mounted and is still preserved.
