This fpecies breeds on the borders of lakes in the northern parts 
of Scotland, and very rarely migrates to the fouthward but in fevere 
winters. It is an inhabitant of many cold countries, fuch as Ruffia, 
Siberia, Kamt{chatka, Iceland, and Greenland ; and is alfo found about 
the rivers in Hudfon’s Bay. It breeds in Greenland in June. ‘The 
neft is compofed of mofs and grafs, and is placed amongft the rufhes 
near the water: it contains two eggs of a more elongated form than 
thofe of the common Hen: they are of an afh colour, and are marked 
with a few black fpots. 
Thefe birds are more frequent about frefh waters than thofe of the 
fea, and are injurious to the fifhermen by diving among the nets and 
devouring the fifh; but they often entangle themfelves, and are by 
that means taken. 
The weight of this Diver is three pounds, and the length two feet 
five inches. -
