a2 LAGOPUS MUTUS. 
§ 2996. Fourteen.—Ounas-tunturi, 1854. (From two nests.) 
Two nests of seven each found by Martin Pekka, and blown by him. 
He had also some ten eggs of the Willow-Grouse, but these were 
carefully packed separately in his basket, and were also of a lighter 
ground-colour and thicker markings. He at once knew the number 
of each, and on counting them they were found complete. These 
eggs are beyond doubt, from the high character for intelligence and 
care that he bears. He is unequalled in this neighbourhood. 
§ 2997. Mne.—Pallas-tunturi, 1855. 
Out of a nest of ten brought by Martin Pekka from Pallas-tunturi 
on the 25th of June. . 
[The tenth egg was sold at Mr. Stevens's, 7 March, 1896, to Mr. Burney. | 
§ 2998. Five.—Pallas-tunturi, 18-19 June, 1855. 
Out of a nest of nine, found by Martin Pekka’s son Piety near 
Hima-riki on Pallas-tunturi. He shot the hen from this and the 
last nest, and they are now before me, stuffed and exactly lke 
each other. It was on Hima-riki that I found the nest on 22nd 
June, 1853 [§ 2995]. 
[Two from this nest sold at Mr. Stevens’s, 7 March, 1856, to Mr. Shepherd 
and Mr. Robinson. | 
§ 2999. Ayght.—Pallas-tunturi, 19 June, 1855. 
Bronght by Martin Pekka, fotind by his daughter and son on 
Jakairla-kerro, the north side of Pallas-tunturi, the week before mid- 
summer. 
§ 3000. Seventeen.—Norwegian Frontier, 1855. 
{Out of twenty sent by Herr A. Ebeltoft, of Tromsdé, in February, 1856, 
having apparently been taken in the preceding year by Peer Mortaisen, under 
the name “ Gren,” by which Aviruna, the Lapp name of Lagopus mutus, is 
meant. Mortas is a Lapp settlement not far from Kautokeino, near which 
place these were no doubt taken, and rather beyond the range of Z. albus. 
They were not entered by Mr. Wolley in his Egg-book, nor is the sender’s 
letter forthcoming. |
