416 COLYMBUS SEPTENTRIONALIS. 
§ 5007. One.—Sutherland, 1852. 
From Donald M‘Kay in 1853. A second given to Mr. H. Harpur- 
Crewe. 
§ 5008. Zwo.—Karto-uoma, 18 June, 1853. “J. W.” 
These two eggs on a little point surrounded by water in Karto- 
uoma on the Swedish side opposite Gkfvre Muonioniska. I saw the 
two birds fly away, and from their appearance, and also because I 
have seen no other species, I had no doubt they were Black-throated 
Divers. A boy offered to swim to them for twelve skillings each egg, 
and as the bog was very heavy, I some way off, the gnats very 
numerous, and the sun in the north, I accepted his offer. He brought 
them to me just after I had shot the Brushane [§ 3880], about 
midnight, the sun shining. 
[Mr. Wolley, as just stated, at the time believed these to be the eggs of 
C. arcticus, chiefly because he had not then seen C. septentrionalis in Lapland ; 
but he was mistaken, as not only does their size shew them to belong to the 
smaller species, but the Finnish name Kaakuri (Red-throated Diver) was 
applied to them by the people, who, as he afterwards found, perfectly 
distinguish it from the larger Tohtaja (Black-throated Diver).| 
§ 5009. Zwo.—Jerisjirvi, 1853. 
A pair of the eggs of Kaakuri, bought at Jerisjarvi; but I am 
not clear which species it is. Iam told that a larger sort, whose 
eggs are eaten, is called Tohtaja. 
§ 5010. One.—Jerisjarvi, 1853. 
Bought from a boy at Muonioniska, who called it Kaakuri, and 
had brought it from Jerisjarvi two days previously. A second egg 
got broken. f 
§ 5011. One.—Haparanda, 1853. 
[Inscribed by Mr. Wolley as obtained at Haparanda 20 July, but not entered 
in his book, He must have got it there with other eggs (§§ 3287, 4902, etc.) 
during his short visit, when he decided upon returning to Lapland for the 
winter. |
