AVIFAUNA 



252. Locustella luscinioides (Savi). [Nachtegaalrietzanger]. 



Of this species, which is still breeding in our country, 

 we possess the following specimens killed in the Netherlands : 

 cf, shot near Utrecht, without date. This specimen must 

 have been shot after the year 1835, for Temminck does 

 not mention this bird in his „Manuel d'Ornithologie" III, 

 1835, p. 119, as occurring in our country.

We possess further only one egg from the Kralinger- 

 meer, found in 1849, and one with the nest, from Eerne- 

 woude, province Friesland, 14 July 1893, and also 4 nests 

 from the Kralingermeer, 



253. Locustella naevia (Boddaert). [Sprinkhaanrietzanger], 



In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin are five 

 specimens from the neighbourhood of Haarlem (81 — 1 to 5) 

 and in our old collection are two specimens, one from 

 Haarlem and one from Warmond, Zuid-Holland. In the 

 latter years we did not receive this species. 



CiNCLIDAE. 



254. Cinclus cindus (L.). [Zwartbuikwaterspreeuw]. 



We possess two specimens of the northern black-bellied 

 dipper, killed in our country, viz. : 



an adult one, without sex, shot March 1833 at Hillegom, 



presented by Baron van Tuyll; 

 an adult male, shot 26 October 1887 at Heemstede near 



Haarlem (Coll. van Wickevoort Crommelin, 94— 3). 



The specimen caught November 1759 near Bloemendaal, 

 mentioned by Nozeman (Uitgezogte Yerhandelingen, V, 

 1760, p. 68), belonged also to this northern form. Schlegel
