602 ATHYIA NYROCA. 
§ 5781. One.—* Goerlitz,” 1850. From Mr. A. H. Cochrane, 
through Mr. Hancock, 1854. 
This is marked “Taken on the Theiss in Hungary, 1850,” and 
was given to me by Mr. Hancock, who knows Mr. Cochrane. 
§ 5782. One.—Haracta, Algeria, 10 June, 1857. From 
Mr. Simpson. 
§ 5783. One.—Djendeli, Algeria, 24 June, 1857. From 
Mr. Simpson. 
These appear to be the same kind of eggs as are called by 
Mr. Tristram White-eyed Ducks’, but neither these nor any others 
would Mr. Simpson [Hudleston] with certainty attribute to that 
species. 
[Mr. Hudleston’s caution in respect of Ducks’ eggs became proverbial. In 
these instances, having regard to Mr. Salvin’s statements below (§§ 5735, 5787) 
and subsequently (Ibis, 1859, p. 364), I think it was excursive. | 
§ 5784. Zhree.—Djendeli, 22 June, 1857. From Mr. Tristram. 
[One of these was bought by Mr. Wolley at Mr. Tristram’s sale 9 February, 
1858, where it was Lot 289: the other two given to my brother and 
myself by Mr. ‘Tristram, according to whose note the nest was found by 
Mr. Simpson. | 
§ 5785. Zwo.—Chemora, Algeria, 24 June, 1857. From 
Mr. Salvin. 
Mr. Simpson [Hudleston] found this nest of seven eggs. He 
saw the bird leave it and was quite sure of the species. Mr. Salvin 
keeps four of the eggs, and the Messrs. Godman have the other one. 
Sometimes the eggs are more ochreous. The Wigeon was never 
seen by their party. This entry made at Cambridge from Mr. Salvin’s 
dictation, 11 November, 1857. 
§ 5786. Oxe—Algeria, 1857. From Mr. Tristram.
