Mr. E. Booth had " a full-plumaged adult and a 

 couple of downy mites " brought to him by a Norfolk 

 marsh man. 



In the winter months 1 have found this bird in great 

 numbers in the bays and creeks of the Mediterranean, 

 in Southern and Eastern Spain, Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, 

 Tunis, and in all parts of the Ionian and Albanian 

 shores, as well as on inland lakes and lagoons. I also 

 found it tolerably common in November and December 

 in the harbour of Santander. In the early summer of 

 1872 we found a few pairs of this Grebe breeding on 

 some small freshwater pools in a wild district of Anda- 

 lucia ; the nests were more substantially built than 

 those of the Great Crested and Little Grebes that were 

 also frequenting the locality ; but I could not observe 

 any remarkable difference of habits in this species from 

 those of their more abundant relations just mentioned. 



The Eared Grebe is exceedingly common in the 

 breeding-season in many parts of N. Africa, and ranges 

 southward to the Cape.
