﻿OF THE NETHERLANDS.

gives is his »Vogels van Nederland" on plate 66 a figure 

 of Cindus cinclus aquaticus Bechstein, but this figure is 

 not made after a specimen killed in our country, for, 

 when Schlegel wrote his work, the only specimens known 

 to have been killed in the Netherlands were the specimen 

 of Nozeman, figured on plate 14 in Nozeman's great work 

 (C. Nozeman, Nederlandsche Vogelen, I, 1770, p. 20 pL 14) 

 and the above-named adult bird shot at Hillegom. 



255. Cinclus cindus aquaticus Bechstein. [Waterspreeuw]. 



A specimen, caught at Vlymen, province Noord-Brabant, 

 preserved in the Museum of the Zoological Garden at Am- 

 sterdam, seems to me to belong to this form. We don't 

 possess this subspecies from our country. 



Troglodytidae. 



256. Anorthura troglodytes (L.). [Winterkoninkje]. 

 8 specimens. 



Motacillidae. 



257. Motacilla alba L. [Witte kwikstaart]. 

 5 specimens. 



258. Motacilla alba lugubris Temminck. [Rouwkwikstaaet]. 



This subspecies we did not receive in the latter years. 

 We possess besides specimens of the true lugubris killed in 

 the Netherlands in the months March and May, also some 

 specimens intermediate between alba and lugubris. The 

 subspecies and the intermediate form are breeding in our 

 country in the western part. 



259. Motacilla boarula L. [Groote gele kwikstaart]. 



This species we did not receive. Altogether we possess 

 only 7 specimens killed in the months October, December, 

 February and March.
