194. PHATLAROPUS TIYPERBOREUS. 
PHALAROPUS HYPERBOREUS (Linneus). 
RED-NECKED PHALAROPE. 
§ 3917. One.—Oefjord, North Iceland, 1842. From Mr. 
Proctor, 1844. 
§ 3918. One.—Iceland, 1846. From Mr. Graham, 1847. 
(Mr. Graham was taken to Iceland by Mr. Henry Milner in 1846, This is 
a curiously rounded egg. | 
§ 3919. One—Orkney, 1848. From Mr. Dunn. 
I bought this of Mr. Robert Dunn at Hellister near Weesdale in 
August, 1848. He took several of the eggs the preceding spring 
in the Orkneys, whither he went in a little hoat accompanied by his 
son, in consequence of information received from Captain Drummond’, 
of the Forty-second Highland Regiment. He killed many of the 
birds, which he shewed to me, and he observed that the female is 
larger and more brightly coloured than the male. See his note on 
the subject in ‘ The Zoologist’? for 1848 (page 2230). 
§ 3920. Zwo—Sanday, Orkney, 1851. 
These brought to me 8 December, 1851, by Mr. Charles Hubbard, 
of Dickleburgh in Norfolk, the inventor of a portalle boat exhibited 
at the Great Exhibition, with which he has been in Lewis, Suther- 
land, and Orkney. He visited Sanday, where he saw Mr. Strang, of 
Lopness. There were then very few Phalaropes, and he paid strict 
attention to the wishes of the proprietors. ‘These were the only two 
eggs of the bird he received this year. They were both in the same 
nest in the isle of Sanday, and his correspondent could find no 
more.
