§ 547. i^o?^r.— Kangos-jarwi, East Bothnia, 18-22 April, 1854. 

 O. W. tab. ix. fig. 5. 



Out of eight eggs brought to Muoniovara for me, on the 28th 

 April, by Isaak of Kangos-jiirwi. With them was a Hawk-Owl, 

 whose wing had been struck off as it made an attack on the intruder, 

 raising a lump on his head. There had been two nests of seven eggs 

 each, of which six were accidentally broken by the frost, having been 

 left hi an uninhabited room, as I have just (15th May) learned at 

 Kangos-jarwi. One of the nests I visited on my way hither. It was 

 in a hole in a tree, about ten feet from the ground, without any 

 Hnmg. In it, last year, were some kind of Duck's eggs. I saw 

 both the birds still crying near the place, and they Avere clearly 

 Hawk-Owls. This nest was taken on Easter Tuesday, and the 

 other also from a tree on the following Saturday. From this last, 

 the bird sent me, a male, was killed.
