		Priority was at first given to the early pioneers who had been in the polder since the start; afterwards, interested farmers from all over the Netherlands were eligible for the remainder and candidates were put through a selection process before receiving their own piece of new land.
		Urk was then and is still today a fishing community and it served as a natural construction-island for both dikes as well as a base of operations for the later exploitation of the polder.
		Urk ceased to be an island on October 3 1939 when the dike reaching from Lemmer was closed; Schokland, an island abandoned in the 19th century then lying within the polder, had to wait until the water surrounding it had been drained away.

		In the case of the Reed Warbler, 4crocephalus scirpaceus Hermann, it is con- cluded that colonization occurs by the taking up of territories by first-year males who are unable to find territories near their birthplaces because of the earlier arrival of old males.
		In support of this the author compares the earlier spring arrival in Schokland (middle of May) and later arrival in the polder (last week in May).
		The author interprets this as indicating in schoeniclus a greater tendency to return to the birthplace to breed and the possible lack of the surplus of males which exists in scirpaceus.
