Besides eleven specimens in winter dress we received a

 summer dress into the winter dress. In the collection van 

 Wickevoort Crommelin is a female in nearly full summer 

 plumage, killed at Wijkermeer, 16 August 1856. We possess 

 further a male in full plumage labelled only Holland 

 (Schlegel, Cat. Scolopaces, Tringa subarquata, n°. 1).

 22 September 1906 on the island of Texel. 



128. Pelidna alpina (L.). [Bonte strandlooper]. 



16 specimens. December 8 th 1885 a whitish female has 

 been caught at Hallum, Friesland; it has been presented 

 to the collection by the late H. Albarda.

 strandlooper]. 



19 specimens. This small race of the dunlin is breeding 

 in our country. In 1904 I presented to the Leyden Museum 

 a collection of birds-eggs, in which is preserved an egg of 

 this subspecies, that I received in 1895 and that had 

 been found some years before on the island of Texel.

The Museum received 9 specimens killed in September 

 on Texel and at Blokzijl, Overijssel, all females.
