Good, old Eiders’, of which I have but few British specimens, 
though they breed on the Farne Islands. One nest on the Bass

and Orkney, in Orkney, and in Shetland.

Oyster-catchers’ (§ 3287) and Teisties’ (§ 4902). Of some interest as coming 
from the head of the Baltic Sea. Two others were sold at Mr. Stevens’s, 
31 May, 1860, to Mr. Braikenridge, and one of them is now in Mr. Parkin’s 
Collection. |

[Neither of these is entered in the Egg-book, though both are inscribed : 
one bears “In Herring’s nest—sat upon”; the other “Out of a nest of four 
near the Herring Gull’s nest in which was the Eider’s egg.” The fact of his 
having found a Duck’s egg incubated by a Gull was often spoken of by 
Mr. Wolley, and was mentioned by him in his Sale Catalogue of 1857-8, in 
the note to Lot 14.]
