^ 2361. is'^y//.— England, in or before 1846. 



§ 2362. SLv. — Muonioniska, East Bothnia, 19 May, 1854. 



Identified — the bird seen to fly off — by myself. From an old 

 Martinis nest in Hietase^s yard, where there are such a vast number 

 ot Martins' nests [cf. § 787] . It was made of straw, hay. Grouse- and 

 Capercally-feathers, reindeer-hair, and so forth, and looked just like 

 an English Sparrow's nest. The boys wage war against them for 

 their enmity to Martins.
