§ 4099. Four.—Ferde, 1859. 
[Apparently from at least three nests. | 
These [$$ 4088 to 4099] were sent to me by Sysselmand Winther 
from Frerde and reached me at Beeston on the 3rd of October, 1859. 
They were generally very well packed, each egg carefully rolled up 
in tow, and all the eggs that were found in one nest kept together in 
what he calls a “ cornet ??—a hollow roll of paper. 
[As before, Herr Winther wrote the name of the place and finder, as well as 
the day of taking, on each paper, all of which was copied by Mr. Wolley into 
his Ege-hook on the 11th of October ; and a melancholy interest attaches to 
the specimens of this contribution, as they were the last received by him, and 
the entries in the Egg-book shew unmistakable sign of the effects of the fatal 
disorder which was so soon to end his life. |

From Messrs. W. Sturge and E. Evans, 1856. 
On the arrival of Mr. Hudleston and myself at Hammerfest in 1855, we 
found there Messrs. Wilson Sturge and Edward Evans who were preparing 
for a voyage to Spitsbergen, on which they sailed before we left. On their 
return they were good enough to give me these two eggs taken from as many 
nests, and they subsequently :ecorded their ornithological experiences in ‘ The 
Ibis’ (1859, pp. 166-174). There they state that this species “was very 
abundant in Coal Bay .... and we found four of their nests on the high fjeld. 
Jeautiful little nests they were, deep in the ground, and lined with stalks of 
erass and leaves of the Dwarf Birch (Betula nana, 1.), containing mostly four 
egos of an dlive-green handsomely mottled with purplish brown, chiefly at the
