§ 5690. Mve—Kangosjarvi, 1854. 
Brought at midsummer by Hendrik Ankori Niemi, who took 
them himself, and doubtless he is correct in giving them the name 
of the Common Scoter. 
[There were sixteen specimens. At Mr. Stevens’s, 26 January, 1855, two 
were sold to Mr. Bridger, one to Mr. Salmon, two to Mr. Walter, and two to 
Mr. Gurney, and two more, 7 March, 1856, to Messrs. Bond and Shepherd. I 
afterwards gave one to Mr. Newcome. | 
§ 5691. Stv—Hakkas Kangas-koski, Patsjoki, 17 June, 1855. 
Taken by the side of the river, in Norway, just after I had passed. 
There was no down in the nest. I saw several pairs of the Common 
Scoter about—no Velvet Scoter anywhere,—and the men called 
the eggs positively Meri-lintu. They found them by the bird’s 
flying off.

By Piko Heiki. 
§ 5693. Four.—Maunu, 1855. (With down.) 
Said by the Grape lads to be Kolso [Velvet Scoter]; but are 
probably Meri-lintu (Common Scoter). They were found between 
Kaaressuando and Maunu, and some of the down I have labelled. 
§ 5694. Stv.—Maunu, 1856. 
Received by Ludwig of Carl Grape, 28 July. 
§ 5695. Five-—Keras-sieppi, 1856. 
Found on the shore of the lake by the very intelligent old man 
there. 
§ 5696. Zwo.—Vuontisjirvi, 6 June, 1857. 
From Wollas Lassi.
