964 GALLINAGO CALESTIS. 
Mere. We caught a young bird, 13th June, at least my companion 
Mr. Miller did. 
§ 4214. One.—Caithness, 24 April, 1849. 
I found a single egg in a swamp, | believe, near Thurso. The birds 
were very abundant in Sutherlandshire. 
§ 4215. Three.—Wideroe, Feerde, 18 July, 1849. 
Snipes were very tame in Fverde. I took one nest, from which the 
bird flew when close to me. 
§ 4216. One.—Sutherland, 1850. From Mr. Bantock. 
§ 4217. One.—Sutherland, 1850. From Mr. W. Dunbar. 
§ 4218. Two.—Sutherland, 1850. From Mr. J. M‘Gregor. 
§ 4219. ZEleven.—Orkney, 1850. From Mr. George Harvey. 
§ 4220. Seven.—Ferde, 1850. From Sysselmand Winther. 
§ 4221. Twenty.—Orkney, 1851. From Mr. George Harvey. 
§ 4222. Zwo.—Feroe, 1851. From Sysselmand Miiller. 
§ 4223. ZTen.—Ferde, 1853 [P]. From Sysselmand Winther. 
(Only four of these certainly belong to 1853; but I believe that the rest do, 
and all are from this Sysselmand. ] 
§ 4224. Hour.—Karto-uoma, Muonioniska, July, 1853. 
Brought to me about 12th July from (ifvre-byn by a lad who 
said he found them in Kharto-uoma, saw the bird fly up and 
thought it was Ranta-Tjutti, and it appeared to him to have a black 
head. I have enquired much at (#fvre-byn for the eggs of 
Lotanus fuscus ; but these appear to be those of Scolopaxr gallinago,
