[§ 2459. Five.— Midm, Donegal, 28 May, 18G3. " R. H." 

 From Mr. Robert Harvey, 1864. 



Mr. Harvey writes : — " I took these eggs myself. T had gone with a party 

 of anglers from Malin Hall in the morning to fish the Meentagh Lake at the 

 foot of Slieve Snaght (Snowy Mountain) in the centre of the peninsula of the 

 barony of Ennishowen, and not finding good sport T began birds'-nesting, and 

 this nestful was my reward."]

[The following seem to belong to a small race, in the existence of which 

 Mr. Wolley was inclined to believe, though he could not satisfy himself on the 

 subject. The birds were only observed in the more northern parts of Lapland, 

 and I do not know that he ever procured specimens of them. Looking to the 

 possibility of some future writer obtaining examples and describing them as 

 distinct, I think it advisable to keep these eggs apart from the rest, and I may 

 remark that Mr. Wolley never met with Einberiza jnisilla or E. rustica.']

With the nest, which is made of grass^ very fine inside. The 

 Pastor said they were Emberiza lapponica. 



[Mr. Wolley seems to have been at the time content with the Pastor's 

 determination of these eggs, not then knowing that the Lapland Bunting lines 

 its nest with feathers.]
