fir. In 1856 Heiki took three eggs (3rd June) from this nest. 

 The tree was a dangerous one, thin and rickety, so that he was half 

 afraid of going up. It was on the Ollas-jarwi side of Ollas-tunturi, 

 the first hill from the mountain. Heiki informed me that even 

 while an Osprey is making its nest, it always goes there to eat a fish 

 when it has caught one.

 appeared far to the south, with a fish in its claws ; and with my glass 

 I watched it over Nangi, buUied, as 1 had seen it before (19th May), by 

 a Rough-legged Buzzard. I even thought that I could see the nest. 

 31st May and 1st June, I looked for it again in vain, though in the 

 mean time I had twice seen it fly over the house at Muoniovaara with 

 a fish. In the evening of the last-mentioned day 1 went with Josa
