N°. 363, pullus, Alkmaar, 22 July 1907. Iris dark brown, bill black, feet light grey. (In spirits). 

 N°. 372, Q ad., Alkmaar, 26 July 1907. Iris dark brown, eye-lids ochre-yellow, bill black with 



dirty white base, feet greyish-brown. 

 N°. 373, cf ad., Alkmaar, 27 July 1907. Iris dark brown, eye-lids ochre-yellow, bill black. 



The two adult birds are the parents of the pullus. The adult spécimens differ from 

 Aegialites dubius (Scopoli) by the white forehead, narrower loral band, somewhat broader 

 black band on the head and by the broad, protubérant and corrugated naked eye-lids. Also 

 their dimensions are somewhat smaller, wing çf 112, 9 I0 9 mm., whereas spécimens of dubius 

 hâve the wing as a rule 2 or 3 mm. longer. 



The pullus resembles that of Ae. dubius from Europe.
