PHALAROPUS HYPERBOREUS. 195 
§ 3921. Zhree.—Sanday, 1858. 
Sent to Mr. Edge in that year by Mr. William Kirk, the keeper 
of the Start Point Lighthouse, who wrote that they were all he was 
able to obtain, as a man had been there shooting the few pairs of 
birds that were there. 
§ 38922. Two.—Sanday, 1854. 
Mr. Kirk wrote from the Start Point Lighthouse, 7 October, 
1854:—“T am sorry that I have only found two eggs this summer, 
as the bird has become very scarce.” 
§ 3923. Zhree.—Nyimakka, 16 June, 1854. “J. W.” 
Three eggs of the Red-necked Phalarope which I took myself on a 
little knob of ground in a pond not many miles above Nyimakka. 
There were three or four pairs of the bird about, very tame. The 
nest was in a tuft of longish grass, dried ; itself very slightly made 
of bits of hay, close to the water, but raised above it on a banket, 
so as to be quite dry. I cannot obtain any trace of the Grey 
Phalarope. 
§ 3924, Three.—Kaaressuando, 19 June, 1854. 
Taken on the night of 19-20 June, by my man Elias, in the marsh 
Heatennas-uoma, on the Finnish side. He saw the birds. Vesi-

§ 3925. Four.—Nyimakka, 1854. 
Brought to Ludwig by Nyimakkas Hendrik, under the Finnish 
name of the bird, Pohjasen Uima [-lintu, Northernmost Swimming- 
bird]. 
§ 3926. Two.—Kaarejarvi, 1854. 
Out of five found by the boy Tuorimaa Fricka on an island in a 
lake called Kaarejirvi, to the north or north-west of Kaarevaara, 
* [This name (ef. §§ 3926 and 3933); taken down no doubt by ear, and in each 
case wrongly spelt, troubled me much, till Dr. Ottosson, from a correspondent in 
Finland, kindly supplied the probable orthography and meaning as given above. 
It seems to be unknown to Finnish ornithologists. —Eb. |
