GALLINAGO GALLINULA. 299 
§ 4185. One.—Palojoki, F., 1854. 
Of two taken by Heiki Ollen-poika and Zacharias Johanen-poika. 
[The second of these I sent with another to the Norfolk and Norwich 
Museum, at the request of Colonel Irby, in 1875.] 
§ 4186. Fouwr—Kaakkuri-lammas, Muoniovaara, 14 June, 
1355.. ““Antone: 
Anton saw the bird distinctly on the eggs. He looked at it for 
some time almost under his feet. He said when he came home that 
it was Pient Taivaan-jaara [Jack Snipe], though Ludwig suggested 
that it was Pient Jéanké-lintu [ Broadbill], and six days afterwards on 
snaring a Jack Snipe from the nest [$ 4187] he declared it to be the 
same bird he had seen on the nest in Kaakkuri-lammas. The bird 
flew quietly from its eggs and dropped down at a short distance, 
without shewing itself again. A Wood-Sandpiper, or almost any 
other marsh-bird, would have made itself heard. 
§ 4187. Four.—Karto-uoma, 21 June, 1855. ‘ With bird. 
Anton K.”’ 
Anton aud Ludwig were together in Karto-uoma about nine 
in the morning when a bird got up by Anton’s feet. Ludwig set a 
snare and caught a Jack Snipe, whose skin I have examined. He 
was not at first certain as to the species of the eggs or bird. Anton 
said it was exactly the same kind of bird as that whose nest he had 
found in Kaakkuri-lammas about a week before [§ 4186]. Ludwig 
had to draw the young out with a hook. 
§ 4188. Four.—Nalima, 1855. 
Nilima Nikw’s girl brought these eggs with the name (T7aivaan- 
jaara) I have written upon them. In size they do not differ from 
Jack Snipe’s, but they are of the largest size, on comparison of a 
series of forty eggs. 
[The largest of these is 1:58 by 1:08 inch. They are somewhat abnormal 
in colouring; but there are other Jack Snipes eggs not unlike them.]
