TRINGA STRIATA. pan | 
skin sent in the box was one of Tringa maritima, which, of course, I 
knew at once, but also took care to compare in detail with 
Mr. Yarrell’s description of the Purple Sandpiper, and such it 
undoubtedly is. Mr. Edge received the box from Leith, just 
opened the lid, peeped in without touching the eggs, and locked it up 
till this 2nd of August, 1854. 
[Two of these egos were sent by Mr. Wolley to Mr. Hewitson, who figured 
them as above, but he, as Mr. Wolley remarked, has in both cases drawn the 
side with the holes in it. ] 
§ 4066. Zwo.—Trodum, 1853. From Sysselmand Winther. 
In the same box as the last. On the “cornet” in which they 
were wrapped is written by Ilerr Winther ‘‘ Tringa both of one 
nest. 
§ 4067. Zhree.—Trodum, 1853. From Sysselmand Winther. 
On this cornet was written “ Triaga all of one nest.” 
§ 4068. .7wo.—Trodum, 1853. From Sysselmand Winther. 
In a cornet written on by Herr Winther “ Tringa both in one 
nest.” 
§ 4069. Z/ree—Trodum, 1853. From Sysselmand Winther 
Marked “‘ Tringa” in pencil by Herr Winther, and on the cornet 
in which they were wrapped is written “ Tringa all of one nest.” 
(Mr. Wolley thought that it was necessary to compare these with Snipe’s 
eggs before accepting them: I have done so, and see no reason to doubt their 
being correctly assigned to this species. | 
§ 4070. Mour.—Near Vads6, Kast Finmark, July, 1855. 
Apparently Purple Sandpiper’s. Found by a lad, the son of 
Daniel, living in Quan-by. He was with his father cutting peat 
some way over the hills. No description of the !*rd. 
[The same boy also brought four Dunling’s eges ( § 4°47).]
