Lapland, and probably near Kyré, though information as to the precise place 
is wanting. He was the man who obtained the two nestling Waxwings 
(cf. vol. i. p. 216) in 1856, the first that had ever been procured. }

[§ 5709. Scv.—Ollasjarvi, 23 June, 1862. 
Out of thirteen brought by Kyro Niku, 24 June, found on an island in the 
lake as above. Two of them were sold at Mr. Stevens’s, 19 May, 1864, to 
Mr. Burney, and in 1864 I gave one to Mr. Borrer. | 
[§ 5710. Seven.—Jerisjarvi, 7 July, 1862. 
Brought by Daniel Olsson Saari as eggs of Lappa-suorsa. Ue said he found 
them on an island in the lake as above, that the bird was nearly black, and he 
thought it had a tuft on its head. It ran four or five fathoms from the nest 
before it began to fly. Knoblock supposed it was Meri-lintu. }

From the late Mr. T. E. Buckley’s Collection." 
These are from a nest of eight, concerning which Mr. Buckley’s note is as 
follows :—‘“ Procured for me by Mr. Lewis Dunbar. The nest was found by 
the keeper in Strath Shurrery and taken by Mr. Dunbar, who saw the two old 
birds swimming in the loch, and the keeper told him he had put the Duck off 
her nest the morning previously. Mr. Dunbar cut the turf holding the nest 
and down, and sent it to me with the eggs. The nest was merely a hollow in 
long heather, lined with moss and a little down.’’] 
[§ 5712. One.—Ireland, 26 June, 1906. ‘“H. Trevelyan.” 
From Major Trevelyan. 
Most kindly sent to me, at the instance of Mr. Ussher, who acquainted 
1 (Messrs. Harvie-Brown and Buckley state (Vert. Fauna Sutherl. Caithn. &c. 
pp- 194, 195) that they were informed by Dr. Joas that this species bred in 
Sutherland in 1877—the first time it had been known to do so in Britain, and also 
that it breeds not uncommonly in Caithness, a nest of six eggs together with the 
bird having been taken in that county in 1880, according to the information of 
Mr, Lewis Dunbar. They add: “There are many other records of its breeding in 
the county, which it is not necessary to enumerate, but its numbers are decidedly 
limited and it deserves special protection.’’—Ep. |
