§ 3409. Zwo.—Skiddaw, 21 June, 1852. From Mr. Wilkinson, 
Spo 
These were kindly brought to me by my friend Mr. Clennell 
Wilkinson, this lst February, 1853. He procured them last autumn, 
and has handed over to me the ietter which accompanied them, dated 
Keswick, 9 September, in which the writer, Mr. William Greenip, 
states :—‘‘ I have sent you two of the Dotterel eggs: the other had 
got a little crack, so I kept it.” In a previous letter he had told 
Mr. Wilkinson that he took them himself on Skiddaw, and only that 
one nest all the season. 
Mr. Wilkinson’s father used frequently to meet with Dotterels 
near Sedbergh in Yorkshire. They betrayed themselves against 
the ground by occasionally lifting their wings, and showing white 
underneath. 
[Mr. Wilkinson, while on a visit to Cambridge, 21 May, 1900, confirmed 
the above statements as entered in the Ege-book. He was almost the last 
survivor of Mr. Wolley’s egg-collecting friends of this period, and died in 
1902, Rector of Toft-Newton near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire. | 
§ 3410. Zhree.—Sieppi-kerro, 21 June, 1853. “J. W.” 
At the top of a small mountain in the direction of Pallas-tunturi, 
near Sieppi, as we approached over a ridge, a bird ran from its nest 
ruffling up its feathers and spreading its wings, just as a Partridge 
would do. Using my glass I saw most distinctly that it was a 
Dotterel. I walked up to the spot whence it rose, and there were 
three eggs on a little reindeer-moss and a few dwarf-birch leaves in a 
little depression. Other reindeer-moss was all around, and it was 
not easy to say there was any nest at all. While sitting down at the 
nest the bird came within two or three yards, quivering its wings and 
crouching on the ground. This is no doubt the bird with the red 
breast spoken of as sometimes seen at Sieppi in the spring. 
§ 3411. Mve—Skiddaw, June, 1854. From Mr. Henry Evans, 
1856. 
Received 4th March, 1856, from Mr. Henry Evans, who wrote 
“the man Greenip who took them appears to be a decent sort of 
fellow,” and sent also two letters from the finder, dated Keswick in 
August, 1854, in the first of which he said: “I found two Dottereis’
