PLUVIALIS APRICARIUS. 103 
§ 3379. Four.—Pallas-tunturi, 22 June, 1853. “J. W.” 
These eggs I found while walking near the top of Pailas-tunturi, 
between Hima-rika and Pyha-kerro. I had lately seen several of 
the birds about, but when this one got up a short way before me I 
fully thought it was a Dotterel. It fluttered its wings and came off . 
its nest just as the bird did yesterday [§ 3410]; but Theodore saw 
that it was larger and had black about the head. There can be 
little doubt about the species. I had looked in vain for any 
traces of Grey Plover or any other. The nest was very simple, 
scarcely more than a depression in the lichen. I returned in an 
hour or two, but no bird was on the eggs. It was not more than a 
few hundred yards from the place on Pyha-kerro where [ found the 
beautiful nest of a “ Snow-Sparrow ” [ Plectrophanes nivalis (cf. supra, 
i. p. 443) ] under a stone with five young, perhaps a week old. The 
‘Snow-Sparrow’s nest made entirely of very fine grass-stalks, lined 
with feathers. The Plover’s eggs were fresh. [Cf. § 2995.] 
§ 3380. Zhree.—Kaaressuando, 2 June, 1854. 
Taken by my men Larkis Abraham and Elias. They saw the 
bird fly off from some distance, and Elias said it was Mustarinta— 
his name for Golden Plover, a bird common, as [ see, at Kaaressuando. 
§ 3381. One.—Kaaressuando, June, 1854. 
Apparently Golden Plover. One of those found by Nalima’s boy 
Pekka, on or before 5th June. 
§ 3382, FMour.—Kaaressuando, 12 June, 1854. 
Taken to the Pastor [| Engelmark] by the boy Nilima Pekka.
