§ 5402. Fouwr.—Sutherlandshire, 1850. From Mr. Bantock. 
Out of a dozen, received from Mr. Donald Bantock, head-keeper 
to the Duke of Sutherland at Dunrobin, whose museum I saw in 1849. 
I have not yet ascertained that any other Wild Goose [than the 
Grey Lag] breeds in Sutherlandshire. The under-keepers collect 
eggs for Mr. Bantock. Of these I have given two to Mr. L. 
Heyworth. 
[Three more were sold at Mr. Stevens’s rooms, 31 May, 1860, to 
Messrs. Troughton (2) and Gould. One of the two bought by the former 
is now in Mr. Parkin’s possession. Two others were sent by me in 1861 to 
Dr, Heermann. | 
§ 5403. One.—Loch Urigil, 1851. 
Hewitson, ‘ Eggs of British Birds,’ ed. 3, pl. eviii. fig. 2. 
These two eggs remaining from four sent me by John Sutherland 
[ef. § 5399], the Duke of Sutherland’s gamekeeper at Ledbeg, in 
Assynt. Since I shall perhaps get no more British Wild Goose’s 
eggs, these should be kept as late instances of the bird’s breeding in 
the country ; but there will be a few for some years yet, as they 
breed in small numbers in four or five places in Sutherlandshire, 
and also in Ross-shire, and even in Argyll, as I was informed in 
1851. I have never yet got authentic traces of any other than the 
Grey Lag Goose in Scotland.—2 February, 1853. 
One given to Mr. Salmon, 7 March, 1853. 
[The gift to Mr. Salmon was in part return for the Bustard’s egg (§ 3192). 
The remaining specimen, now in the collection, was sent by me, at Mr. Wolley’s 
suggestion, to be figured by Mr. Hewitson as above. }

§ 5405. Sia. 1855. From Herr Peder K. Ulich. 
§ 5406. Siz. J 
[The twelve specimens (§ 5404) from a barrelful of Goose’s eggs sent by Herr 
Ulich, of Tams, to Hammerfest, where Mr. Hudleston and I received and 
blew them by Mr. Wolley’s direction. The remaining twelve (§§ 5405 and 
5406) came later, and were marked by Herr Ulich as being from two nests. 
Both in 1855 and 1857 Mr. Wolley failed to ascertain which species of Goose 
it was that bred on Tamsé. All the wild Geese that I saw sufficiently near
