[The name is written on it by a hand that I do not recognize. It is 
doubtless an Avoset’s egg, but was not entered by Mr. Wolley in his book. ] 
§ 3301. Hour.—Netherlands? From Mr. Green, 1852. 
I saw these eggs at Mr. Green’s before they were blown. There 
were perhaps a dozen or a dozen and a half altogether, and I picked 
out these as varieties. He had some of the birds offered him at the 
same time. This year twelve living Avosets were added to the 
Zoological Gardens in the Regent’s Park, and they had “ Belgium” 
put upon their card. 
§ 3302. One.—Netherlands? From Mr. Green, 1854.
