These two nests of Lapp Bunting taken at Kaaressuando in the 

 night of June 18-1 9th. Of the first 1 saw the birds and set Elias to 

 watch^ for I could not stand the gnats. Presently he saw the hen 

 go to the nest, called me and laid a snare : in a short time she was 

 caught. The cock was constantly seen — very characteristic with his 

 red collar. The nest was placed on a dry bank in a marsh, somewhat 

 concealed as a Titlark^s, made of dry grass lined with white and 

 coloured feathers. The second nest was found by Larkis Abraham, 

 one of my men, after I left them. 



\ 2425. Five. — Vadso, East Finmark, June, 1855. 

 Brought to me at Vadso. 



[The nest does not seem to have been brought with these eg^?, which may be 

 those of the Red-throated Pipit, but they more resemble Lapland Bunting's, 

 and Mr. WoUey appears to have thought them to be Bunting's of some kind.]
