appears, being the earliest published representation of its unwieldy 
form, with a footnote stating that the voyagers brought an example 
alive to Holland. Among the company there was a draughtsman, 
and from a sketch of his Clusius, a few years after, gave a figure 
of the bird, which he vaguely called “ Gallinaceus Gallus peregrinus,” 
but described rather fully. Meanwhile two other Dutch fleets had 
visited Mauritius. One of them had a draughtsman on board, and 
his original sketches fortunately still exist in a library at Utrecht. 
Three or four of them represent the Dodo, and one of them is here

other fleet, a journal kept by one of the skippers was subsequently

said of the birds, but adds the curious fact that they were now 
called by some Dodaarsen and by others Dronten.” 
1 On the death of Prof. Schlegel, who announced his intention of publishing 
these sketches in fac-simile, I became possessed of his collection of drawings of 
the Dodo and other extinct birds of Mauritius, which includes tracings by him 
of these curious and interesting sketches (ef, EXTERMINATION). 
2 The etymology of these names has been much discussed. The former has 
been shewn by Prof. Schlegel (Versl. en Mededeel. K. Akad. Wetensch, ii. pp. 255 
et seqg.) to be the homely name of the Dascuick or Little Grebe, Podicipes
