The general appearance of this bird is 
very like the Eared Grebe. Temminck 
observes, that the first circle round the 
pupil is yellow, the second bright r$d. 
The red horns of this species are above 
and behind the eyes ; those of the Podi- 
ceps auritus (Eared Grebe) cover the 
orifice of the ears. 
The young, tilt the age of a year, have 
no appearance of horns, or of a ruff ; the 
space between the beak and eye is whitish; 
the head, back of the neck, and all the 
upper part of a dusky ash-colour ; secon- 
daries white, the pure white of the throat 
extends beneath the eyes in a horizontal 
line, and goes far upon the back of the 
head ; the middle of the front of the neck 
of an ash-coloured white ; sides of the 
breast and flanks dusky ash-colour; the 
rest of the inferior parts pure white ; beak 
bluish ash-colour, but its base, and the 
small naked space which extends to the 
eyes, flesh-colour; upper part of the beak 
horn-colour, point of it yellowish ; circle 
round the pupil pure white, second circle
