is of a creamy brown all over; but whether from dirt or true colour I do uot 

 know.]

Brought to Muoniovara by Ileiki's boy Carl, 2nd May, having been taken 

 as above stated. The finder had gone six Swedish miles to look for this nest, 

 and received a suitable recompense accordingly. 



"Wliether this nest belonged to the same birds, or their successors, as those 

 seen by Mr. Wolley (§ 46, note), I do not know ; but the two localities are 

 very near each other.] 



[§55. Two. — Sutherlandshire, 15 April, 1862. 



These two fine eggs were sent to me by a correspondent, who states that it 

 is more than probable that one or both parents were the progeny of the pair of 

 Eagles whose nest Mr. Wolley took in 1849 (§ 26). The nest was in the 

 same range of rocks, and about three-quarters of a mile distant from that one. 

 It had been forsaken for sixteen years previously ; but the Eagles had since 

 repeatedly bred in another one, about twelve yards off. In 1861, my friend 

 Mr. W. H. Simpson succeeded in taking with his own hands a pair of eggs, 

 believed to belong to the same birds as these, the nest being within a mile of 

 the spot. The present eggs were taken by some men living in the district, 

 one of whom descended by a rope to get them, and were obtained by my in- 

 formant on the following day. They are large specimens, and of the same 

 character as Mr. Simpson's, one of them being almost uniformly freckled with 

 deeply coloured spots on a white ground, and the other being similar, but with 

 fewer markings.]
