asnare. It was about three o’clock in the afternoon of a fine day. 
The nest was high up on the hill, and just between three burnt 
stumps a foot or two off, made of Scotch-fir leaves, but very little. 
No marsh within five or six hundred yards or more. I must go to 
see the place. 
I have seen the nest this 15th of October. It is by the side of a 
log, heath and moss near. Large trees, but open. 
[There were four eggs in this nest, but the fourth was accidentally mis- 
placed, and is not now forthcoming. Mr. Wolley evidently had not time to go 
to this nest and that of the Ist of June before his departure from Lapland 
in the summer of 1854, and had to defer his visit till his return from 
England in the autumn. ] 
§ 3640. Onxe.—Muonioniska, 13 June, 185+. 
Found by Keimio Michel at the Cfvreby, or rather on the top of 
Mielmooka-vaara, the hill at the back—high and perfectly dry 
ground. He said there was a little tallris—i. e., leaves of Scotch fir— 
in the nest. He was quite certain that it was JJustatiutti—the 
black bird that cries ¢jut, tjut. The eggs were much sat upon. 
Ludwig put them in a box underground. Two have perished, in 
company with all the four eggs of Toras-sieppi’s nest of this bird. 
[Ludwig’s putting them in the ground, which at that time would be only 
thawed at the surface, was in the hope of keeping them in proper condition for 
his master, who at the time must have been absent, to operate upon. Where 
the remaining egg (for obviously there were four) is I know not. | 
§ 3641. Four—Naimakka, 16 June, 1854. 
Found by Ooly or Olli [Olaf], the father of the family, on the 
Finnish side of the river. Four eggs of Spotted Redshank, with 
large young inside. I managed to crack one badly. Ooly was 
certain the bird was Riivattu. 
§ 3642. Four.—Muotkajirvi, June, 1854. . 
Hetwitson, ‘ Eges of British Birds,’ ed. 3, pl. Ixxxviii. fig. 3. 
Fine fresh eggs, brought to me 26th June by a lad, and called 
Mustatiutti or Riivattu—the latter the more common name of the 
Spotted Redshank.
