Very rare. I have received three specimens within the last four years, from the Fern 

 Islands, killed in February : one in perfect plumage. Three or four in immature plumage 

 were killed upon the Tyne during the winter of 1829-30.

Eared Grebe, Br. Zool., Lath. Syn., Mont. Ornith. Diet., Flemm. Br. Anim., S^c. 



The young of this species is sometimes killed upon the coasts, or estuaries of our rivers, 

 but I have never met with it in the adult summer plumage. In the young state it re- 

 sembles the P. cornutus so closel}', both in size and colour, that the only character b)' 

 which it can be distinguished is in the form and proportion of the bill. Both kinds are in- 

 discriminately called Dusky Grebes.

The young of this species is not rare, but the only specimen of the adult that has come 



to my knowledge is that of a female in the possession of the Messrs. Hancock, which was 



killed at sea off Cullercoats in 1830.
