AMPELIS GARRULUS. 237 



[These are the darkest coloured eggs in the whole series, and as the first 

 figure above cited does not seem to me to convey a very accurate idea of the 

 appearance of this variety, I have given here representations of two others, 

 wiiich are, I trust, more successful.]

§ 898. Five. — Kotti-maa, 10 June, 1859.

§ 901. Five.—U June, 1859.

§ 902. Five. — Sarwi-jarwi, Kemi Lappmark, 20 June, 1859. 



Brought to Muoniovara^ 5th of July, by Heiki, who was sent on 

 daily wages to the Kyro district, where he found very few eggs. 

 There are no birds there this year, and therefore everything went 

 poorly. This nest was found on the shore of Siirwi-jarwi, three 

 quarters of a mile [Swedish] from Kyro. 



[These eggs (monstrosities excepted) seem to be the smallest of the series. 

 The smallest measures '84 by '64 in.] 



§ 903. Five. — Suas-vaara, 14 June, 1859. 

 Brought with the last. With the nest. 



[One of these eggs is a dwarf, measuring '76 in. in length.]
