Tus differs from the great crested grebe in 
being rather less, and wanting the crest and 
ruff. The sides of the neck are striped down- 
wards from the head with narrow lines of black 
agree with that bird. 
This species* has been shot on Rosterne Mere 
in Cheshire ; is rather scarce in England, but 
is common in the winter time on the lake, of 
Geneva, where they appear in flocks of ten or 
twelve ; and are killed for the sake of their beau- 
tiful skins. The under side of them being drest 
with the feathers on, are made into muffs and 
tippets; each bird sells for about fourteen shil~ 
lings. 
* Though considered in the preceding edition as a distinct 
species, it seems evidently the great crested grebe, in an imma- 
Ep. 
ture state of plumage.
