158 TOTANUS CALIDRIS. 
§ 3718. Zwenty.—From Dr. Frere, 1849, 1850. 
Bought in Leadenhall Market. 
[Most of the Redshanks’ eggs in those days that found their way to Leaden- 
hall Market came, I believe, from the Netherlands, and in hundreds. It was 
thought, though wrongly, that the species had then ceased to breed in the 
southern parts of England. } 
§ 3719. Four.—Orkney, 1850. 
From Mr. George Harvey, of Stromness. Entered in his list as 
“Red Legs,” and evidently little valued; still they are of interest to 
shew the locality. 
§ 3720. Mght—1851. 
These I bought in Leadenhall Market, at the end of May, mixed 
up with Reeves’, Godwits’, and perhaps other eggs. Many of them 
were nearly rotten, and I blew them at 4 Holles Street, where I was 
staying with Mr. Edge and Sysselmand Miller. 
§ 3721. Thirty—Orkney, 1851. 
From Mr. George Harvey, as before. Two of them are very large. 
§ 3722. Hight.—[ Not later than 1851.] 
[These were apparently picked out by Mr. Wolley for a cabinet series; but 
there is nothing to shew whence they were obtained. | 
§ 3723. Zwelve—From Dr. Frere, 1852. 
These selected from a very great number in Dr. Frere’s duplicate 
drawers. All probably from Leadenhall Market. 
§ 3724. Four—Spynie, Sutherland, 4 May, 1853. From 
Mr. Hancock, 1854. 
Given to me by Mr. Hancock, 24 August, 1854. They were taken 
at Loch Spynie, near which Mr. St. John lives.
