PINICOLA ENUCLEATOR. 423 



^ 2259. Three.— ^ii^io, June, 1856. 



From a nest of four, one of Mikel's. The bird does not seem to 

 have been snared. The nest, which is imperfect, is made of long 

 thin roots and shoots mixed with fine grass- bents, or, at least, sheep- 

 grass. 



\ 2260. 27^r£^^.— Sadio, June, 1856. 



Probably one of the nests from which the bird was snared '. It is 

 in good condition, rather more crossed and interwoven than most 

 of the others. 



§ 2261. One. — Kyro, Kenii Lappmark, June, 1856. 



One of three brought by Kyro Niku on the 2(5th June without the 

 nest, but with the head of the female. Found in company with his 

 brother Mikel near Ala-Kyro. 



[.\nother from this nest was given to Mr. Simpson : the third I cannot trace.] 



^ 2262. Ranta-autto, Sadio, 16 June, 1857. 



Found by Brita Maria, and so much sat upon that I have had 

 much trouble in extracting the young.

O. W. tab. xii. figg. 1, 2. 

 Taken by myself, that is to say, I was under the tree, a quarter of 

 a mile (Swedish) north of Sadio. They were cold and, the lads said, 

 had been long in the nest. We saw no bird, but they said that the 

 cock was in very fine red plumage. The nest was about ten feet from 

 the ground in a young spruce. 



§ 2264. Three. — Ruota Kyro, Ounas tunturi, Kemi Lappmark, 

 17 June, 1857. " Bird seen on. J. W." 



0. W. tab. xii. figg. 4, 5. 



^ [It would appear that, after reaching Muoniovara, some confusion took place 

 as to the precise nests belonging to the different birds, which at first [§ 2258] wera 

 carefully kept separate. — Ed.]
