186 DUTCH AND ENGLISH BIRDS. 
This list was followed in 1858 by his well known work 
on Dutch birds, »De Vogels van Nederland” !) with 362 
coloured plates and which is certainly the best work ever 
published on that subject, although since that time much 
has been altered in our avifauna and several species have 
been added to his list. 
In 1860 appeared another book from the hand of Schlegel 
on the birds of the Netherland, making part of a great 
work on the Dutch fauna under the general title: »De 
Dieren van Nederland”, published by A. C. Kru- 
seman at Haarlem. The ornithological part of this work 
contains, besides the 263 pages of letterpress, 18 beautiful 
and most interesting plates representing different landscapes 
with miniature bird-drawings and 35 plates with the 
heads of all the species treated in the letterpress. — A 
second edition of this volume was published in 1878 at the 
office of Funke, Amsterdam. 
Since that time several publications on that subject 
have appeared but they were with one exception (H. 
Koller, naamlijst van in Nederland in den vrijen natuur- 
staat waargenomen vogels)*) — papers on local observa- 
tions. Among them the most serious are the observations 
published by J. P. van Wickevoort Crommelin in 
a. Nederl. Tijdschrift voor Dierkunde, III, 1866, pp. 
242—248. 
b. Archives Neerlandaises, II, 1867, pp. 66—68. Notes 
Ornithologiques. 
e. Idem IV, 1869, pp. 231—238. Idem sur la faune des 
Pays-Bas. 
ad. Idem IV, pp. 379—398. Remarques sur la faune de 
la Hollande. 
e. Idem X, 1875, pp. 166—180.
