The twelve eggs above mentioned vrere received by me, in August 1860, 

 directly from Herr Knoblock, who procured them in the preceding month of 

 April, they having been found by Lapps on the Norwegian fells between 

 Mukka-uoma and Lj-ngen about the time stated. There were three nests, but 

 he did not obtain any further particulars,] 



[§ 594. iV^e.— Lyngen-fjall, 1865. 



These were taken in the same district and about the same time as those 

 mentioned in the three preceding sections, but Herr Knoblock did not receive 

 them until later, nor I until March 1867. He never obtained any parti- 

 culars of their discoverer. Six more, sent at the same time, are now in the 

 collections of HH. Ericsen, Fischer, and Theobald, Lord Lilford, and Mr. 

 Seebohm.]

 since those before forwarded to me in 1866 and 1867.]
