BLACK-THROATED DIVER. 
COLYJIBUS ARCTICUS. 
The Black-throated Diver is an occasional winter visitant 
on the coast of Great Britain, as well as on some of our 
inland lakes and rivers ; but it is less frequently met with 
than the Northern Diver, and does not extend so far 
south: however, Mr. Selby having seen a pair on Loch 
Aw'e in the month of June, is induced to think that 
some few remain to breed in our latitudes. 
The Black-throated Diver does not extend so far north 
as the Northern Diver, and seems also to belong more 
to the shores of the eastern countries. In Greenland and 
Iceland, this bird is not located; in Norway it is of rare 
occurrence, but Finnland seems to produce more than 
any other region; also Sweden, northern Russia and 
Siberia, as far as Kamtschatka are its chosen countries, 
from whence it is known to extend as far as Japan.
