of Pallas-tunturi, and the nests were on old dry burnt ground. 
One on highish land, the other, also in a dry place, but just by a 
little swamp. They were in the open parts, where there was 
reindeer-moss, with stumps and old decayed logs on the ground. 
In both cases the birds flew high, but Piety saw them several times, 
and wished to have shot them, but they were shy. He is quite 
certain of the species, with which, of course, he is very familiar. He 
marked the eggs of the two nests severally “1” and “ 2,” and blew 
them himself, very neatly, washing them well inside.

Out of three. Soloman of Narva said these were Mustatiutti, as 
they seem to be.

Found by a lad, Johan Petari, who said it was Tiutti, as Nilima’s

other Spotted Redshank’s.

§ 3654. One.—Modas-lompalo, June, 1855. 
Out of three brought to Ludwig by Modas Olli on the 10th June, 
perfectly fresh, but two of them broken. The fourth egg Olii had 
completely smashed and thrown away. He found them on a 
palo-maa [burnt ground], and the bird was very noisy. He knows 
the Spotted Redshank well. 
(Two of them were sold at Mr. Stevens’s rooms, 7 March, 1856, to 
Messrs. Hewitson and Bird, for Mr. Wilmot and Lord Garvagh respectively. |
