Text Appearing Before Image:
hink, into the European lists. Podiceps cornutus arcticus, Schlegel.—The ArcticGrebe is not, as far as I can perceive, in any way. distinct from the Sclavonian Grebe, (P. cornutus,Latham.) A specimen sent me by Mr. Tristram differsin no respect whatever from that bird. La a longarticle by Kjiirbolling, in Naumannia, 1854, p. 307,et seq., entitled Xotes on the Ornithology of 1853-4,the question of the specific identity of the two birdsis very ably treated. Dr. K. arrives at the conclusionthat the so-called P. cornutus arcticus is only thefemale of P. cornutus, Latham. Therefore, he says,P. arcticus must be struck out of the European lists. Podiceps longirostris.—A so-called species, said byPrince Eonaparte to inhabit the Island of Sardinia,having the size of P. cristatus and the plumage ofP. ruhricollis, v/ith a beak longer than the tarsus. Imust confess my entire disbelief in either of thesebirds as distinct species. The Podiceps nigricollis ofSanders is the P. cornutus of Latham.
