species of marsh-tits from our country. Bn. Suouckaert van 

 Schauburg, who made a research into the same matter, 

 found also the two species mentioned by Hartert and could 

 add as a third form another subspecies of one of them. 

 The result of his researches is to be found in ,,Yerslagen 

 en Mededeelingen Ned. Orn. Vereen.'' n°. 3, November 

 1906, p. 3, and in „Ornith. Jahrb.", XVII, 1906, p. 204. 



284. Parus montanus salicarius Brehm. [Matkoppige ZWART- 

 KOPMEES]. 



We received 5 specimens. We possess altogether 22 spe- 

 cimens, adult ones and nestlings, from the Netherlands, 

 among which are 6 in the collection van Wickevoort 

 Crommelin under the name of Parus palustris L. (142 — 1 to 6, 

 in the manuscript catalogue of van Wickevoort Crommelin 

 named Parus palustris L. var. fruticeti Wallengren). 



285. Parus montanus borealis de Selys Longchamps. 



[NOORDSCHE MATKOPPIGE ZWARTKOPMEES]. 



According to Bn. Snouckaert van Schauburg a specimen 

 of this northern race has been killed in Noord- Brabant 

 (Snouckaert, Verslagen en Mededeelingen Ned. Orn. Vereen. 

 n^ 8, November 1906, p. 3). 



286. Aegithalos caudatus europaeus (Hermann). [Staart-

 Certhiidae. 



287. Certhia hrachydactyla Brehm. [Boomkruipertje]. 



10 specimens. All examples in our collection belong to 

 one and the same form, hrachydactyla Brehm. We possess 

 a series of 40 specimens from the Netherlands. Already in 

 1852 Schlegel stated that all the specimens killed in the 

 province Zuid- Holland belonged to the race, called by 

 Brehm Certhia hrachydactyla (Herklots, Bouwst. Faun. Ned. 

 I, 1853, p. 74, note).
