species of marsh-tits from our country. Bn. Snouckaert 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 „Verslagen 

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

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

 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 Sélys 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.

10 specimens. All examples in our collection belong to 

 one and the same form, brachydactyla 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 brachydactyla (Herklots, Bouwst. Faun. Ned. 

 I, 1853, p. 74, note).
