HEMATOPUS OSTRILEGUS. 89 
§ 3286. Oxe—Loch Tay, Perthshire, 1852. 
From Mr. Peter Robertson, of Black Mount. 
§ 3287. Zwo.—Haparanda, 18 July, 1853. 
[These must have been obtained by Mr. Wolley on his first return from 
Lapland, for which he again set out immediately (cf Memoir, p. xxvi). 
Though properly inscribed, they were not entered by him in his Egg-book. | 
§ 3288. Four.—Porsanger Fjord, Hast Finmark, June, 1855. 
Sent by Herr Peder K. Ulich, of Tamso, for me to Hammerfest. 
In his list they are entered as “af et Rede 1 Fjeren.” 
§ 3289. One.— Hoy, Orkney, 1856.” 
This very remarkable egg I bought at Nottingham, 19 January, 
1859, of a travelling naturalist [G. King ?] of Torquay. He had 
called at Beeston in the morning, and I had shewn him some of my 
egg-drawers. He told me it was brought to him as an Oyster-catcher’s, 
with other Oyster-catchers’, in the island of Hoy in 1856. I have 
mended it with great care. 
[Mr. Wolley does not seem to have doubted that it was an Oyster-catcher’s 
ege; but I have never seen another like it, and have been inclined to suppose 
that it might be a Gull’s of some sort, but, even in that case, a very abnormal 
variety. | 
§ 3290. Zwo.—Iceland. From Herr Cristian Zimzen, 1555, 
§ 3291. Mifty—Feroes, 1859. From Sysselmand Winther. 
[These eggs appear to have been selected with some care, as some striking 
varieties are among them. | 
[§ 3292. Zwo.—North Warmsey, Farne Islands, 21 June, 1851.

[$ 3293. Zwo.—South-west of Scotland. From Mr. W. G. 
Johnstone, 1854. |
