  We 
  have 
  received 
  the 
  following 
  letters, 
  addressed 
  to 
  the 
  

   Editor 
  of 
  ' 
  The 
  Ibis 
  ' 
  :— 
  

  

  Sir, 
  — 
  I 
  dare 
  say 
  it 
  will 
  interest 
  your 
  readers 
  to 
  hear 
  of 
  a 
  

   new 
  addition 
  to 
  our 
  Dutch 
  Avifauna. 
  On 
  the 
  11th 
  October 
  

   a 
  young 
  male 
  of 
  Xema 
  sabinii 
  was 
  shot 
  on 
  the 
  Hock 
  van 
  

   Holland. 
  The 
  specimen 
  Mas 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  Leyden 
  Museum, 
  

   where 
  it 
  was 
  identified 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Jentink. 
  After 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  

   stuffed 
  it 
  will 
  probably 
  go 
  to 
  the 
  Museum 
  of 
  the 
  Zoological 
  

   Gardens 
  of 
  the 
  Hague. 
  Yours 
  &c.,

  Sir, 
  — 
  The 
  following 
  notes 
  on 
  the 
  occurrence 
  of 
  Numenius 
  

   tenuirost?'is 
  and 
  Glareola 
  pratincola 
  in 
  Holland 
  may 
  be 
  

   worthy 
  of 
  a 
  place 
  in 
  ' 
  The 
  Ibis.^ 
  

  

  These 
  rare 
  stragglers 
  from 
  the 
  south 
  have 
  been 
  observed 
  

   in 
  the 
  Netherlands 
  on 
  various 
  occasions. 
  

  

  The 
  earliest 
  discovery 
  of 
  the 
  Slender-billed 
  Curlew 
  {Nu- 
  

   menius 
  tenuirostiis) 
  was 
  made 
  known 
  by 
  my 
  friend 
  the 
  late 
  

   Mr. 
  J. 
  P. 
  van 
  Wickevoort-Crommelin, 
  who 
  obtained 
  a 
  

   male 
  example 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  shot 
  at 
  Spaarndam, 
  in 
  North 
  

   Holland, 
  on 
  the 
  15th 
  of 
  December, 
  1856. 
  It 
  forms 
  part 
  of 
  

   his 
  choice 
  collection, 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  which, 
  according 
  to 
  his 
  

   ■wish, 
  after 
  his 
  death, 
  was 
  presented 
  by 
  his 
  daughter 
  to 
  the 
  

   National 
  Museum 
  of 
  Leyden.
