Foulque macroule. Temm. Black Diver. White-faced Diver. THIS fine-looking bird, reminding us by its general shape and fulness of form of the ducks, is rather sparingly distributed over the island, and that generally in retired localities. Af- fecting and resorting to the sides of rivers and large pools, its most favourite haunt is the neighbourhood of those lakes with which the island is so picturesquely studded. Nearly similar in habits to the water hen, we observe the baldcoot sailing on the ...surface of the water with the same light and buoyant motion that so much distinguishes that species. At all times in summer, and occasionally in winter and spring, we hear it emitting its loud and piercing cry, which has been likened to the sound of a trumpet. When alarmed, we see an attempt made at concealment, by diving and swimming under water to the projecting shelter of whatever herbage may be in its vicinity ; also, when pur- sued by dogs, it in most cases trusts only to its powers of diving to elude pursuit.
