Nomenclature
Albertus Antonie Nijland (Oct 30, 1868 – Aug 18, 1936) was a Dutch astronomer. He was noted for his observations of variable stars, and published a number of papers on the subject from 1917 until 1936. He proposed naming variable stars in each constellation using a simple numbering system beginning with V1, V2, ... and so forth. However the double-letter system starting with RR was already in widespread use. As a result, variable stars after QZ were numbered according to Nijland's system beginning with V335.

Something to investigate...
Is A. A. Nijland the same person as the Dr. Nyland who's mentioned on page 281 in the book Mysterious Universe, a handbook of astronomical anomalies? (William R. Corliss, The Sourcebook Project, 1979), see article On Dark Meteors (Frits Hopman, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, 1898), about possible observations of asteroid-like objects appearing between the observers on earth and the moon's disc.
