pape & TRINGA ALPINA. 
§ 4041. Ten.—Crkney, 1850. From Mr. George Harvey, of 
Stromness. 
These eggs were especially wanting to my cabinet, to form a series 
of so characteristic a species. 
§ 4042. Mineteen.—Orkney, 1851. From Mr. George Harvey. 
Out of thirty-four received. 
§ 4043. Siv—Feerée, 1851. From Sysselmand Miller. 
Out of eight received. These eggs are very acceptable, both from 
their being pleasantly varied and for comparison with the other 
Tringa {striata, § 4064], while they also “ shew the locality.” 
[Of this species in Farée, Mr. Wolley’s note is:—“I could not find the 
nest. It was plentiful up in the moors.” | 
§ 4044. Four.—Ferbe, 1853? - From Sysselmand Winther. 
[The year in which these eggs were taken is doubtful. 
§ 4045. Four. 
Vads6, East Finmark, 20 June, 1855. 
§ 4046. Four. 
Two nests, brought to me by different people. The birds abundant 
all about here, crying or calling like Hares.! 
§ 4047. Zwo.—Near Vadso, July, 1855. 
Found by a lad, the son of Daniel, living in Quan-by. I have the 
1 [I have met with no author who mentions this ery or call of the Hare. It is 
certainly but seldom heard—by myself bardly- half a dozen times, and then only 
by night, so that I could not be sure that it did proceed from a Ilare, though in 
my younger days I was so told by an old warrener. At this distance of time I 
nesitate to say more of it than that, according to my recollection, it was a short, 
shrill whistle. Very few ornithologists have attempted to do justice to the song- 
note uttered in flight by the Dunling, though many must have heard its loud 
ringing sound, something between that of a small bell and of a metal pipe, 
continuous and musical, but very high in tone. ‘Io describe it more particularly 
seems impossible, yet Naumann (Naturgesch. d. Vogel Deutschlands, vii. p. 444) 
essayed to syllable it.—Eb. }
