iEchmophorus occidentalis. 



WESTERN GKEBE. 



This, as its name denotes, is a bird of the west. It is found 

 in abundance on the coasts of British Columbia, and in Manitoba; 

 but east of the latter Province it occurs only as an accidental 

 straggler. The Ottawa Club report that two specimens have 

 been shot at the mouth of North Nation River, and Mr. Wm. 

 CowPER has purchased one in the Montreal market. 



Colymbus holbcellii. 



HOLBCELL'S GKEBE. 



This species was formerly called the " Red-Necked Grebe." 

 It occurs throughout the Dominion, from the southern boundary 

 to the Fur Countries, but is rather rare, excepting in a few 

 localities. It is a common resident of British Columbia, and is 

 common during the breeding season in Northwestern Manitoba, 

 and is not uncommon at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy during 

 the migrations. 



Colymbus auritus. 



HORNED GREBE. 



This is the " Spirit-Duck " or " Hell-Diver " of the country 

 sportsmen. It is a common bird throughout the Dominion, 

 breeding from about latitude 45° northward to the higher Fur 

 Countries.
