AOS CYGNUS MUSICUS.—C. BEWICKI. 
The “ creat lakes ’’ mentioned in the preceding note seem to have been parts 
of the Koalmejaure or Coallmejaurre of the maps, through which the 
Patsjoki or Pasvig river runs on its way from Lake Enare to the Varanger 
Fjord ; but no other locality can I identify. Mr. Wolley, it may be remarked, 
had no map of the district with him, and it was doubtless owing to that, 
combined with his boatmen’s want of local knowledge, and the multitude of 
islands, that they lost themselves on these lakes, and he was two days trying 
to find his way out. To this also may be attributed some confusion there 
is as to the precise days on which the two nests were found, but that is of little 
importance. | 
§ 5382. Two.—Hvitasidu, Western Iceland, 1856-7. From 
Herr Cristian Zimsen, 1858. 
Given to Mr. Newton and myself at Reykjavik, 20 July, 1858, by 
Herr Zimsen [§§ 3125, 3963], who told us he had them from one 
Bergpor Bjornsson, but he was not sure whether they were taken. in 
1856 or 1857. 
§ 5383. Zwo.—Iceland. From Mr. Proctor, through Mr. Small, 
1858. 
Mr. William Small, of 38 George Street, Edinburgh, whom I 
first knew when he was with Mr. Carfrae, in Frederick Street, said 
he had them from Mr. Proctor, and that the box containing them 
lay for a whole year in the Custom House, 
[§ 5384. One.—North Iceland. From Mr. Proctor, 1851. | 
CYGNUS BEWICKI, Yarrell. 
§ 5385. One.—From M. Lefevre, 1846. 
[It is with some doubt that I include this egg, but on the whole I am 
inclined to believe it to be genuine. Mr. Wolley bought it in Paris of 
M. Lefévre, then of 24 Rue Dauphin, and seems to have had no doubt of 
it at the time, though soon after M. Hardy, of Dieppe, expressed a very 
unfavourable opinion of the seller (§ 3216). About that time the dealers in 
Paris certainly received eggs direct from Russia. 
M. Lefévre figured an egg as that of this species in his ‘Atlas des Gufs des 
Oiseaux d’Europe,’ and the figure so closely agrees with this specimen that it 
might have been drawn from it. }
