scanty or not thick together. This tree was nearly an ell in diameter 

 at the bottom, the branches not qnite to the bottom. The nest on 

 the south side of the tree. This was Suas-kangas, on the west side 

 of the river, a quarter of a mile [Swedish] up from Sardio. 



[The egg above mentioned was given to myself and my brother, a second 

 was given to the late Mr. J. P. Wilmot, a third to Mr. W. H, Simpson (now 

 Hudleston). The fourth and fiftli were sold at Mr. Stevens's, 12th May, 1857, 

 to the late Sir William Milner, and these two last are the originals of the 

 figures in the Zoological ' Proceedings ' as above cited.] 



§ 813. Two. — Wuondis-jarvvi \ Keini Lappmark, June 1857. 



Out of four eggs which came to my hands — two being much dam- 

 aged. One of these I sent by the hands of Cand. Med. Nylander on 

 24.th of August to Helsingfors, with the nest brought me last winter 

 by Martin Piety \yide supra, p. 221, note]. After I had given it to 

 Dr. Nylander, he told me that fifty silver rubles had been offered in 

 Helsingfors, I think by Dr. Maklin, for a nest. 



This nest was found in Wuondis-jarwi before midsummer by 

 Thomas Keskitallon's children, without their knowing what it Avas. 

 Sardio Mikel saw them and went with them to the nest which he 

 brought away, and finally to me. It was in a little punakuorinen 

 m'dnty [red-barked Scotch fir] about a fathom from the ground on a 

 branch. It was in an open place, dry ground, two or three hundred 

 fathoms from the house. The Sardio lads saw two pairs of birds in 

 the neighbourhood and Johan Sardio found a nest, in which were 

 four or five small young, half a mile [Swedish] or less to the south 

 from Wuondis-jarwi, on a large branch of a Scotch fir overhanging 

 the footpath or track. About the middle of July or a little later 

 Johan also saw flying young amongst the houses at Hetta. 



Maria Muotka-jarwi early in August saw Waxwings on this side 

 [the west] of the river between here [Muoniovara] and OEfvre-Muonio- 

 niska. She also about the middle of August saw young flying in 

 Lombola-rowa on the Jaris-joki near here. At the same place 

 Lansman Braxen informs me that late in June he and Kyro Niku * 

 saw a pair of the birds. 



Mem. — Also that before 1853 Johan Toras-Sieppi found a dead

 That here meant I believe to be on the west side of the Ounas valley. — Ed.]

 wings to Ludwig iinde supra, p. 216],
