from the same nest as the last year's [§ 92], which were brought by 

 Elias as the eggs of Skuolfi. Olli said, this year, that tliey were the 

 eggs of Kalas'ddski, i. e. Osprey, and that he had said so last year : 

 the lie was with Elias.

There were four eggs taken at twice in this nest, by the old man 

 of Pyha-ota. 



[On om- way from Skjbotn to Kilpis-jarwi, 25tli-26th July 1855, we passed 

 the nest from which these eggs were taken, and I made a sketch of it. It was 

 in a Scotch fir tree close to the track, — a very large structm-e of sticks. The 

 tree stood in a comparatively open space in the forest, and, thus having plenty 

 of room and air, had preserved its lower branches, presenting a remarkably 

 symmetrical appearance, very different from other trees of the kind growing 

 aroimd. My sketch, from which the accompanying plate (tab. B.) is drawn, 

 though with no pretensions to artistic effect, was considered by my companions 

 to be characteristic, and therefore I have had it engraved. This nest is also 

 mentioned in ' Frazer's Magazine,' No. 816, for April 1856.] 



§ 95. Two. — Rowajoki, South-west rinmark, Norway, 1857. 



Received by me from the wife of Pyha-ota, at which place I 

 subsequently saw the lad who found them. I also saw the nest^ the 

 same I had eggs from in 1855, and which Mr. A.. Newton sketched. 



^ 96. Three. — Lettas-eno, Enontekis Lappmark, 1855. 



Near the Mlinty-raja, i. e. the fir-tree boundary, above Markina 

 or Enontekis, on the Russian side. Taken by Nalima's boy, helped 

 bv a little lad, Matti. 



§ 97. Two.— Sardio, East Bothnia, 21 May, 1855. 



One of Heiki's nests, all of which were kept careftdly distinct by 

 him. 



Heiki told me afterwards (15th March 1857), that in 1855 he 

 found six Osprey's nests. The first was in vEijavaara, not far from the 

 great ^ijan-paikka, a new nest, probably made by the old cock bird of 

 that from which, in 1854, I shot the hen [§ 86], with a new mate.
