178 ACTITIS HYPOLEUCA. 
§ 3804. Four.—Inchnadamph, 1850. 
From Mr. John McGregor, brother of the mn-keeper at Inchna- 
damph, and the person who, according to Mr. St. John [‘ Tour in 
Sutherland,’ i. p. 16], looked like a spider at the end of its thread. 
He is now a Veterinary Surgeon, and dates his last letter from 
Dingwall. 
§ 3805. Zhree.—Assynt, 1851. 
From John Sutherland. J found the bird breeding very abundantly 
in Assynt in 1849, and no other species except the Dunlin, of which 
I saw only one small flock. 
§ 3806. Stiv.— Orkney, 1851. 
From Mr. George Harvey, of Stromness, apparently the “ Stone- 
turners”’ of his list. 
§ 3807. Zwo—Kiuhlangi, 10 June, 1853. “J. W.” 
These were slightly sat upon. I saw the bird leave the nest, a 
neat hollow among two or three short willow-sprigs in a little 
meadow, a few yards from and above the edge of the river. A man 
at the gdstgifveregard took me to the nest, which he had found a day 
or two previously. Kihlangi is the last stage, seven Swedish miles, 
below Muonioniska. This bird is abundant on the Tornea and 
Muonio rivers, and also further south. The Finns call it Ranta-tirra, 
and up here Szpz. 
§ 3808. Zwo—Jorakovaara, 1853. 
Collected for me during my stay in the north. When I called on 
my way down, they had also some Teals’ eggs beside these. The 
Sandpipers’ were found by children, and called Ranta-tirra. I saw 
many of the birds about, indeed it is the commonest bird on the 
Tornea and Muonio rivers, and its note is very characteristic. 
§ 3809. Zwo.—Muonioalusta, 7 June, 1854. 
Found by Piko Heiki.
