514 ANSER ERYTHROPUS. 
About that time the Zoological Society possessed a pair or even more 
of this pretty Goose, and at my request Mr. Wolf was good enough to make a 
drawing of one of them, for the illustration of this work, which I accordingly 
here reproduce as nearly as possible in fae simile, but unfortunately the 
drawing is only a sketch from which a plate was to be prepared. It is 
wanting therefore in those finishing touches which that great master would 
undoubtedly have added. | 
§ 5418. Siz—Routio, June, 1854. 
Hewitson, ‘ Eggs of British Birds’, ed. 3, pl. cix. fig. 3. 
From two Lapps, Anders and Lars (ef. § 2957). They know 
well the two kinds of Geese that are to be seen in the mountains, 
and said these are Kilju-hanhi. Of these birds I saw a great many 
in the mountains, and I shot one at Kaaressuando, of which the 
following are memoranda :—25 inches from tip of tail to end of 
beak, 48 inches between the tips of the wings; gape scarcely 1 inch 
and a half; tail tipped with white; tail-coverts white; region of 
breast (bone) variegated with black, belly white ; underside of wings 
pale blacklead-colour; edges of eyelids yellow; beak when living 
pinky (pale), nail white horn ; feet orange ; forehead white, as much 
as in a Coot, feathers bordering the white feathers nearly black, head 
and upper part of the neck darker than the rest. 
[ Mr. Hewitson figured, as above, one of these for that of the real White- 
fronted Goose (A. albifrons), since he had unfortunately already executed the 
plate, when he had word from Mr. Wolley correcting the mistake before 
mentioned, though the latter’s letter was written immediately on its 
discovery. | 
§ 5419. One.—Palojoki, 1855. 
Out of five taken by Johan Matti and Zacharias two miles 
(Swedish) upwards from Palojoki on the Finnish side—Anser 
minutus. 
[Two from this nest were sold at Mr. Stevens’s, 7 March, 1856, to Messrs. 
Burney and Wilmot. Two more I sent to Dr. Heermann in 1862. ] 
§ 5420. One.—t{Nyimakka?], 1855. 
Of two taken by the Lapp, Pehran Pierin Nicolaov, whom Peter 
of Nyimakka found just beginning to cook them.
