LINOTA HORNEMANNI. 407 



§ 2182. Que. — Orkney. From Mr. George Harvey of Strom- 

 ness, 1848. 



§ 2183. 7y^re^.— Sutherlandshire, 26 May, 1849. 



I took this nest^ with the eggs nearly hatching, in the little burn 

 where I got the KestreFs [§ 159] and some other nests. I shot the 

 old birds. 



S 2184. i^/ye.— Shetland. From Dr. Frere, 1849. 



[§ 2185. /S'/ci'.— Unst, Shetland, 1854.] 



[S 2186. ^w'.— Unst, 1855. 



The eggs in both these sections were sent by the correspondent before 

 mentioned (§§75-79), to whom I was introduced by Dr. Frere.] 



[^187. i^/y6>.-— Leek, Donegal, 30 May, 1862. " R. H." 

 From Mr. Robert Harvey.] 



LINOTA HORNEMANNI, IlolboU. 



^2188. Tioo. — Greenland. "Bird taken." From Captain 

 Holboll, through Mr. S. Stevens, 1855. 



From two diflerent nests, the birds of which were marked Linota 

 holboin. 



[The true Linarin holhcellii of Brehm (Handb. der Naturgesch. aller Vogel 

 Deutschl. p. 280) seems, so far as Mr. Dresser and I were able to make out, to 

 be only Linota linnria in winter-plum au'e, when it may be easily mistaken for 

 the larger L. homemanni, which, to the best of my belief, is the proper name 

 of the large form breeding in Greenland, and to that this e^^y certainly belonged. 

 For the latest information on the subj-^ct I may refer to Herre Winge's * Con- 

 spectus Faunfe Groenlandicse ' (Aves, pp. 289-296).] 



[\ 2189. Two. — Labrador, 1851. From Mr. Frederick Bond. 



These were given to us by Mr. Bond as well as the nest. He told us they 

 were brought home by the mate of a whaler, and shewed us the birds that 

 came with them.]
