Family COLYMBIDiE, Leach.
Genus Podiceps, Lath.
There is no country of any extent wherein Grebes are not to be found; and as their wing-powers are very
limited, they are mostly stationary!
I have elsewhere remarked how beautifully the European Grebes are represented by those inhabiting Australia,
and the truth of this remark will be rendered at once apparent on reference to the Plates of the following species:—
631. Podiceps Australis, Gould . . . . . . . . . . . . Vol. VII. PI. 80.
632. Podiceps gularis, Gould. . . . . . . . . . . . . Vol. VII, PI. 81.
Podiceps Dominicus, var. Lath., Gen. Hist. vol. x. p. 32.
633. Podiceps poliocephalus, Jard. 8$ Selb. . . . . . . . . . . Vol. VII. PI. 82.
Family SPHENISCID^E, Gould.
Of this southern group of birds three or four species have been known to visit the shores of Van Diemen’s
Land and the islands in Bass’s Straits, which, in fact, constitute one of the great breeding-places of some of the
members of this family.
Genus E udyptes, Vteill.
634. Eudyptes chrysocome ...................................................................................................................Vol. VII. PI. 83.
Genus Spheniscus, Briss.
635. Spheniscus minor, Temm. . . . . . . . . . . . . Vol. VII. PI. 84.
636. Spheniscus Undina, Gould . . . . . . . . . . . . Vol. VII. PI. 85.
