5 „ Ouderkerk (z. n. a.), 28 Mei 1859. „J. B."(aker). Van A. F. 

 Sealy, 1893. Bij deze voorwerpen staat verder vermeld : 



„During what proved to be his last visit to England, the late Mr. 

 Sealy gave me these from what remained of his collection, which had 

 been seriously injured by fire some years before, while his Catalogue, in 

 which all particulars had been carefully entered, had been lost still earlier. 

 His own recollection, however, and the inscription on the eggs shew that 

 they were obtained by the late Mr. John Baker of Cambridge." (Cf. 

 Yarrell, British Birds, ed. 4, 1, p. 394). 



1 sp. Holland (z. n. a. en z. j.). Van A. F. Sealy, 1893. Hierbij 

 komt nog deze aanteekening voor: 



„This is another egg of Mr. Baker's taking, given to me at the same time. 

 It is most abnormal in colouring, being much freckled, spotted, or even 

 blotched with a deep brown, much deeper than that often seen collected 

 as a „cap" round the big end of eggs of this species. At first sight it 

 might almost be taken for a deeply marked egg of Hirundo rustica, but 

 there is no orange tinge in the spotting. Mr. Baker assured me that the 

 other eggs, three or four, in the nest were of the same character. The 

 nest was of the unmistakable build of that of Savi's Warbler. Details of 

 its capture are unfortunately lost; but soon after it came into my pos- 

 session I took it to Mr. Baker, who, though he had not seen it for some 

 thirty-five years, at once recognized it, and repeated his statement exactly 

 as I had heard it of old time." 



Hypolais hypolaîs (L.). — Spotvogel. 



8 sp. Valkenswaard, 1851. De aanteekening hierbij luidt:
