TOTANUS CALIDRIS. 159 
§ 3725. Two.—Varanger Fjord, June, 1855. 
Brought to Mortensnas by a Lapp, 25th June—half-grown young 
inside. Herr Nordvi had an interview with the man and came to the 
conclusion that they were the eggs of 7itanus calidris. I have seen 
the bird hereabouts. 
§ 3726. One.—Gaudo-jaure, East Finmark, 28 June, 1855. 
So VV Ses 
Found by Mr. Simpson [Hudleston] alone in the night. 
[This lake is about three English miles to the north of Mortensniis, where 
we were staying at the time. | 
§ 3727. Four.—Fora, Giland, 6 June, 1856. “J. W.” 
No doubt Redshanks’, of which several pairs were complaining 
about the marsh when I took these eggs. 
§ 3728. Four.—Iceland. From Herr Cristian Zimzen, 1858. 
[§ 37 29, One.—Valkenswaard, North Brabant, 1851. ] 
[§ 3730. Fouwr—Hockwold Fen, Norfolk, 17 June, 1853. 
ue NN. 
Watching from the top of a straw-stack, my brother saw the bird go to this 
nest, and walking up to it she rose at his feet. | 
[§ 3731. Lwo.—Hockwold Fen, June, 1853. From different 
nests. 
Attracted by the great flood in this district, which followed the bursting of 
the river-bank in November 1852 and lasted for half the following year (Trans. 
Norf. & Norw. Nat. Soc. v. pp. 560-568), a good many pairs of Redshanks 
appeared, and, for the first time for many years, even bred. Most of the nests 
were taken, but my brother and I knew of one, at Wangford in West Suffolk, 
which escaped, for we heard a young bird, which we were unable to find, call 
to its parents, who were piping in great excitement round us. |
