§ 5697. Aight—Kengasinjarvi, 28 June—4 July, 1857. 
Brought 12 July by Isaak Aronsson Nilivaara, with the down, all 
from one nest in a tuft of grass, on Hauta-niemi, a promontory on 
the south side of the lake and towards its west end. Hauta-niemi is 
a common name in most lakes, being the promontory nearest to the 
deep water (hauta). 
§ 5698. One.—Peltouoma, 1857. 
Out of six, brought by Sadio Mikel, the trustworthy lad. He 
said he saw black down with these eggs, but he did not know 
who found them.

Braikenridge (2), Burney, and Simpson. }

Received by me at Kaaressuando, 26 July, of the Lapp lad Johan

Iduoma, 1857. 
§ 5700. Four.—Sources of Kautokeino River, Norway, 1857. 
Received by me at Kaaressuando, of Matthias Tuorimaa, who 
seems to have blown them after finding them on the Kautokeinon 
Ennon-raunasta—probably where he was fishing up from Syajirvi, 
just over the frontier. 
§ 5761. ‘Three —Serki-lompalo, 8 July, 1857. 
Heiki told me there were six eggs in the nest on the shore of the 
water, but his dog broke three. He saw the bird, and is a very 
trustworthy man. 
§ 5702. Sia.Kaaressuando, 1857. 
Out of eight from Johan Peter Nilima; but found, as appears, by 
the lad’s mother in Kaen-lompalo, the Cuckow’s pond.
