Puthars-puolella, Muonioniska. He said it was exactly tlie same 

 kind of bird as a specimen of Hawk-Owl whicli happened to be 

 lying in my room ; but be could not catch it, though he and another 

 lad tried to plug it up in its nest with a piece of wood. 



[The remaining three eggs of this nest are in the collections of Sir William 

 Milner, Mr. Burney, and Pastor Theobald.]

Ludwig was at the place on the 10th June, and received the eggs 

 unblown. They said they were Pissi, i. e. Hawk-Owl. 



[Six other eggs from this nest were sold at Mr. Stevens's, 12th May, 1857, 

 to Sir William Milner, the late Mr. J. D. Salmon, Mr. Bm-ney, Mr. A. F. 

 Sealy, and Mr. Braikenridge.]

Ludwig received these eggs, and wrote of them as follows : — ■ 

 " 6th May, Niemi's Johan brought six Pissi's eggs taken in Ollas- 

 rowa, 27th April, with both birds. He said that when he went to 

 the nest, the cock came and struck two holes in his ear ; but, as he 

 had got a stick in his hand, he struck it on the head, so that it died 

 straightway ; and the hen he got fast in the hole, when she came out 

 from the nest." Ludwig relates that the birds made quite a serious 

 attack on Johan. They are both skinned, and I have sent them to 

 England.

Received by me in Yli-Kyro, amongst Nikoo's eggs, but said to 

 have been found by Michael's son. Birds being well known in 

 Kyro, it is probable that these eggs may be depended upon as Hawk- 

 Owl's. One of them is much smaller than the other three.
