TURDUS PILARIS. 288 



wood^ at the foot of the cliff where are Hawks and Buzzards. Near 

 Mukka-uoma^ yesterday, the 10th June, very early in the morning, 

 I saw the birds of some of the nests and heard them in other cases. 

 No one nest was near the ground.

Mukka-uoma, 10 June, 



^ 1245. Twelve (from five nests) 



r 1854. 



All as above. Of four, found by Abraham in one nest up in a tree, 

 one is remarkably large. 



[This last was apparently laid by a different bird.] 



S 1246. Seven. — Mukka-uoma, 12 June, 1854. 



Out of twenty all found by myself up in birch-trees, and, I believe, 

 the bird seen or heard in every case. Blown on the spot, and all 

 fresh. It was several Swedish miles above Mukka-uoma, as I had 

 been looking for the bear. 



Four of these were sold at Mr. Stevens's rooms 26th Jan. 1855, to 

 Mr. J. H. Gurney, and three to Mr. Burney. 



[An eighth has since been given to Dr. David Walker for the Belfast 

 Museum.] 



^ 1247. (9;?e.— Naimakka, 16 June, 1854. 



In a nest of six found in a tree and called Rastas. The other five 

 eggs of the ordinary appearance, and all hard sat upon. 



[This egg has a comparatively deep blue-green ground, with not many 

 blotches, these are of large size and many are confluent in a sort of zone near 

 the larger end.] 



§ 1248. i^m\— Naimakka, 1854. 



Ludwig tells me that all these eggs were from the same nest, 

 though three of them are of such remarkable littleness. Olli did not 

 say they were Rastas's, and perhaps did not know, but they are 

 apparently Fieldfare's.
