GALLINAGO GALLINULA. 261 
§ 4195. Zwo.—Saukkajanka, Sieppi, 25-31 July, 1858. 
Out of six, brought to Muoniovara, 18 August, by Erika, Matti 
Sieppi’s daughter ; found as above. 
§ 4196. Mour.—lLapland, 1858. 
Brought to Muoniovara on the 13th of July, by Kyré Niku, who 
said they were Pieni Taivaan-jaara, that he saw the bird and knew 
it quite exactly, especially its cry in flight, from /so Taivaan-jaara. 
§ 4197. Hour.—Lapland, 25 July, 1859. 
Brought to Muoniovara 27 July, by Niemi’s Abraham [ Apoo] as 
Pient Taivaan-jaara. He did not see the bird very near, but thought 
it was that. He said that he knew Jso Taivaan-jaara, but this was not 
that and had not the same cry as Méhditdjd. Ue found the nest on 
the 25th in Laaha-uoma, a quarter of a mile from Nivi, on a little 
mound with hay round it. 
[Knoblock remarked on the resemblance between these eggs and those of the 
preceding section, and I do see a certain likeness to them. It is creditable to 
his power of observation and attention to his business, that he should have 
preserved the memory of them for a whole year, without seeing them in the 
meanwhile. | 
§ 4198. Four.—Viksi-rota, 6 August, 1859. 
Brought to Muoniovara, 7 August, by Musta Johan, having been 
found as above. 
(Mr. Wolley, writing in 1857 of an undetermined nest of Jack Snipe found 
in this marsh, so late in the season as the 30th of July, remarks:—“The 
number of nests obtained in Viksi-rota, and the young Jack Snipes found there 
by Mr. Simpson { Hudleston] in August, 1855, leave no reasonable doubt as to 
the bird that laid these eggs. The people as usual, when eggs have been found 
about Viksi, were hay-making; but in spite of constant attention they could 
only find this one nest in 1857. Young birds, probably of this species, were 
met with.” The eggs from that nest went to Messrs. Marshall, Bond, and 
Parzudaki in 1858. It will be seen (§§ 4193, 4210) that eggs of this species 
have been found in the middle of August. | 
§ 4199. Four.—Muonioalusta, 3 August, 1859. 
Brought to Muonioyara, 3 August, by Muonioalusta Moses’s boy
