260 GALLINAGO GALLINULA. 
§ 4189. Four.—Palojoki, 1855. 
Apparently all from the same nest, though one was blown when I 
got it at Palojoki [1st of August]. They are clearly Jack Snipes’. 
§ 4190. /our.—Keras-sieppi, 1855. 
Called Méhétiajai [Bleater] by the man who brought them on 
the 25th August. They do not often distinguish the two species 
from one another. These are clearly Jacks’. 
[These seem to be the largest specimens in the whole series, measuring from 
1-63 to 1:54 by 1:06 to 1°05 inch. Their coloration is strictly normal. ] 
§ 4191. One.—Pallasjarvi, F., 1856. 
Of two found by Kyré Niku and brought to Ludwig 24 June. 
One is remarkably beautiful. 
§ 4192. Four.—Eskiljinkaé, Yli-Muonioniska, 28 July, 1857. 
Brought 2nd August by Carl Kokko’s lad Gustaf, who said they 
were found by his brother Carl on the 28th July. A willow bush 
stood close by the nest, and Gustaf Beck (Pakkin Gustaf), his brother’s 
comrade, saw the bird, and it seemed to steal away from the nest. I 
blew the eggs: three of them were very blowable, the fourth had a 
large young one inside. These eggs, if Jack Suipe’s, are very large 
examples. 
[These vary from 1:58 to 15 by from 1:13 to 11 inch, and I am inclined 
to doubt their being Jack Snipe’s, though the lateness of the season is in their 
favour. | 
§ 4193. Fowr.—Kerasjoki, 9-15 August, 1857. 
Brought on the 18th of August by Ollis Matti, who said they had 
been found the week before by Lisa Fetto or Joensuu Fetto’s boys 
as they were cutting hay in Vaija-niemi, about three-quarters of a 
mile from the Civfreby. 
§ 4194. Three.—Lapland, 27 July, 1858. 
Brought to Muoniovara, 31 July, by Salomon Tore; found in 
Rastinjanka on the 27th.
