§ 2118. 0//6\— Lapland, 1854. 



§ 2119. Two. — Idio-uoma, Tornea Lappmark, 1854. 



Brought by the finders and named by them " Hdrkd-Peipponen." 

 These eggs are almost without doubt what they pretend to be — 

 Brambliug's. 



§2120. Five. — Bremma - lombola, Russian Lapland [?] ^, 

 14 June, 1855. "J. W." 



O. W. tab. xi. fig. 26. 



A nest of six found by myself. As I went up the Patsjoki there 

 were only two eggs in the nest. Coming down the river the nest 

 was full ; but being wet was perhaps deserted. Bremma-lombola is 

 the site of the Swan's nest of last year [cf. § 2464]. 



§ 2121. Four. — East Finmark. From Pastor Sommerfelt, 

 1855. 



"With the nest — perhaps from last year — given to me by the Pastor.

 and grass, and lined with hair, feathers, and mouse-hair. 



§ 2122. Three. — Uoma-vaara, Sadio, Kemi Lappmark, 1855. 

 " With nest."

 eggs. Piety says that Mikel and his brothers are in the habit of 

 speaking the truth and are also in the way of knowing birds, inasmuch 

 as they catch a great number of small birds every year. The nest 



^ [I have no map shewing this lomhola (or lompalo according to the modern 

 way of spelling the word, which means a wide and sluggish reach in a river — 

 almost a " Broad " in the East- Anglian sense) ; but I believe it is in Russian, as 

 distinct from Finnish, territory, though very near the border-line, which cuts the 

 Patsjoki or Pasvig river in lat. 69°. — Ed.]
