but by their size and shape they are easy to separate.

Scie vat bird. ie MLK 
These eggs found by Ludwig himself, and the bird then shot. One 
of the eggs looks exactly like a Golden Plover’s, and probably is oue. 
The bird, now before me, was a cock. It was sitting on the eggs, 
and the snow was lying some three inches deep. It flew to a stone 
a little way off, and then cried, and Ludwig shot it at once. The 
wind was very cold. Ludwig blew the eggs in Tromsé; the Golden 
Plover’s got broken before it reached that place. 
{I can hardly doubt Mr. Wolley’s determination of the third egg of these 
three; but whether the Plover laid in the Dotterel’s nest, or the Dotterel in 
the Plover’s, none can decide. No similar case among Limicoline birds is 
known to me. |

ges, which Ludwig received on the 4th of 
July at Kargama in Bals Fjord, from Jonin Lassi (Lars Johansen 
Speini) or his people, found between the 18th of June and Ist of July 
about Lakkomvaski at the upper end of Kumma-uoma, by Lassi 
himself or his children. He is a very good Lapp and the richest of 
all on this river { Nordkjoselv ?]. 
These from twenty-four eggs 
(I think “ Bals Fjord,” as above, must be taken for the district rather than 
the actual place of that name or the water on which it stands. Ludwig 
was on his way from Tromsé to Mukka-uoma. Kargama and Lakkomvashki 
I cannot find on any map; but Kumma-joki is the river running by Mukka- 
uoma; and the mountains on which these eggs, and those mentioned in the 
next three sections, were taken by Norwegian Lapps are in the extreme 
north-west corner of Sweden. 
Seven of these eggs were sold at Mr. Stevens’s, 23 February, 1858, to Messrs. 
Burney, Bond, Marshall, and Walter (four). Five more, on 51 May, 1860, to 
Troughton. M. Parzudaki had two 
others, while I gave one to Mr. Newcome, and two to Pastor Theobald. ]

- From Jonin Lassi’s daughter Marett (Margaret) at Kargama-perra, 
with the former eggs, but this nest kept in a separate box.
