With the fingle exception of the Red-neck Grebe figured in the 

 €th volume of this work, the bird before us may be efteemed the 

 rareft of the tribe found in Britain ; and none among the number 

 which altogether includes feven kinds, can be confidered common, 

 exclufive of the Dobchick, or little Grebe, which occurs in moft 

 fenny places : The mofi: frequent of the larger kinds is the Crefted 

 Grebe, and that is confined chiefly to the fens of Lincolnfliire, an^ 

 two or three other parts of Britain* 



The black -chin Grebe, called alfo the Hebridal Grebe is almoft 

 entirely confined to the waters of the ifland of Tirce, one of the 

 Hebrides, and thence it has received the appellation of Hebridal 

 Grebe. It is rather larger than the Little Grebe, and is in length 

 about eleven inches*
