Note on the type of Colymhus — 
The genus Colymhus as used by Linnaeus in 
1758 contained four species : arcticus (Black-throated 
Diver), cristatus (Great Crested Grebe), auritus 
(Slavonian Grebe), and podiceps (American Pied¬ 
billed Grebe). Latham introduced Podiceps for the 
Grebes and retained Colymhus for the Divers, and 
his usage was followed by practically every other 
author until the year 1882, when Dr. Stejneger 
proposed to use Colymhus for the Grebes.
