AMFAUNA 



young female, 8 August 1874, Ilpendam, Noord-Hollani 



(Coll. van Wickevoort Crommelin, 223 — 2); 

 young female, 19 September 1874, Oostzaan, Noord- Holland 

 (Coll. van Wickevoort Crommelin, 223—3). 

 Schlegel has mentioned in his Catalogue of the Ralli, a 

 specimen from Holland {Porzana pygmaea, n^ 2); the lo- 

 cality of this specimen however is doubtful to me, as on 

 the postament is written Europe, Germany and Holland. 



105. Gallinula chloropus (L.). [Waterhoentje]. 

 23 examples in different ages, 



106. Fulica atra L. [Meerkoet]. 



8 specimens. In the collection van Wickevoort Cromme- 

 lin is a young female, shot 17 August 1871 in the province 

 Noord-Holland (227—6), in which the coloration is pale 

 greyish brown ^). 



Gruidae. 



107. Grus grus (L.). [Kraanvogel]. 



An old female was shot 25 October 1907 at Deurne, 

 Noord-Brabant, and purchased for our collection. We have 

 further only one indigenous specimen, an adult one, not sexed, 

 labelled Holland (Schlegel, Cat. Ralli, Grus cinerea, n^. 2). 



Otididae. 



108. Otis tarda L. [Groote trap]. 



The Museum purchased in January 1906 a male, that has 

 been shot 30 December 1905 near Maasdam, Hoekschewaard. 

 We have 4 other specimens killed in our country, viz. : 

 cT, 7 March 1855, Prinsenpolder, near Dordrecht (Coll. 



van Wickevoort Crommelin, 165 — 1). 



1) In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin is an old male Qi Forphyrio 

 porphyria (L.), shot 22 July 1874 at Amstelveea, Noord-Holland. Without 

 doubt this specimen has escaped from captivity.
