606 HARELDA GLACIALIS. 
Eiland is at the south channel of Disko Island in Baffin’s Bay, and 
appears to be one of the Whale-fish Islands. I bought this egg 
from Mr. Argent, who has lately received a large number of north- 
country birds and eggs, among them a considerable number of large 
Falcons—not Iceland. On one of the boxes was Steenberg’s name, 
I suppose of Copenhagen, who has correspondence with Ferde, so 
the eggs are probably from him, 
[Mr. Argent was a well-known Naturalist-dealer in Oxford Street, who 
bore a fair character. } 
§ 5803. Mve.—Nieryarvi, 1854. 
Out of six brought as Al/e by Johan Pehrsson Jatko, a boy, drdng 
[servant] to Tuorimaa Olli, from the mountains, where he was at a 
lake fishing. Alle is Long-tailed Duck, a bird of which I saw many 
on my way up the river this spring, and also about Mukka-uoma ; 
but I could not wait for their eggs. Ludwig received these from 
Jatko at Kaaressuando, about St. James’s day, and has since 
carefully kept them separate. 
P.S. 14 February, 1855. The place was by Nierijirvi, about eight 
miles from Kaaressuando. Jatko snared the bird, and blew the eggs 
himself. 
[The sixth egg seems to have been sold at Mr. Stevens’s, 7 March, 1851, to 
Mr. Shepherd. } 
§ 5804. Seven.—Vievijarvi, 1855. “ With bird.” 
These got by Nyimakkas Olli, and sent with the head of the bird, 
evidently Long-tailed Duck, under the name Ad/e. Olli blew them 
out. The lake is between here and Mukka-uoma. 
§ 5805. Zhree-—Muna-lanta, Nyimakka, 1855. ‘‘ Bird seen.” 
Found by Peter on his second visit to my favourite pond 
[$§ 3923, 3930, 5732]. While there a Golden Eagle, whose skin is 
before me, came and was immediately mobbed by some KAz/u- 
hanhi [Anser erythropus], who regularly attacked him. A fine 
description of the same given by Peter. He saw the Adle go from 
its nest.
