These eggs found by myself, but taken by one of my men as I 

 stood under the tree, a Scotch fir, in sight of the banks of the little 

 river which, flowing from Ounas-tunturi by Keras-sieppi, is joined 

 by the Lieppa-joki, and, being replenished in Utkojarwi by the Na- 

 lima water, after passing through Nullus-jarwi, takes the name of 

 Utko-joki tin it runs into the Muonio. 



§ 401. One. — Hirsi-maa, Enontekis Lappmark, 23 Jmie, 1857.

 recognized), of all she took, from which she did not get the bird, 

 there is no doubt these three eggs were properly identified. The 

 nest at Lehma-selka was on a branch in the middle of a honka — a
