These from tlie second nest of the same pair of birds, about twenty-five 

 yards from the site of the first. There were five eggs when he found it on the 

 10th, and he put the hen off it wben he took them the next day. The cock 

 was singing within thirty yards.] 



PHYLLOSCOPUS TROCHILUS (Linnteus). 

 WILLOW-WREN. 



§ 1765. Four. — Kaaressuando, 18 June, 1854. From Pastor 

 Engelmarck. 



The nest, now before me, is of grass lined with white and coloured 

 Grouse-feathers. The bird is called " Riekko-tianen" by the boys 

 here, fi'om its use of these feathers. 



§ 1766. T^^^-o.— Lapland, 1854. 



Found by Elias in a nest with a dome lined with feathers. In 

 another nest is also a wavy Duck^s feather. Quite fresh. 



^ 1767. Ttvo. — Kaaressuando, 21 June, 1854. 

 Willow-Wreu's, as the nest proves. 



^ 1768. Two.— Mortensnas, East Finmark, 1855. " J. W." 



I found the nest on the ground over the hill at Mortensnas, and 

 after trying in vain to catch the bird shot it. Mr. A. Newton agrees 

 with me in considering it to be exactly our Sylvia trochilus. He has a 

 skin he got at Hammerfest, and we have put this bii'd in spirit. The 

 nest is of fine grass with abundance of winter-feathers of the Grouse. 



§ 1769. Jeye.—Varanger Fjord, 1855. "J. W." 



I caught the bird on the nest and Mr. Newton examined it M'ith 

 me. It Avas decidedly our species. The nest was on the ground.
