of great interest, and are not, as I believe, to be generally met with 
in collections, where they are represented by Icelandic eggs. 
§ 5829. Zwo.—Matarengi, 6 June, 1853. 
Brought by boys and called Knipa, that is Goldeneye, and I have 
seen Goldeneyes on the river here. 
§ 5830. Zen.—Muonioniska, June, 1853. 
Out of two dozen specimens, of which I myself took one from a 
“ tyllyr,” in which there were two eggs. On the 12th of June a 
woman brought for sale a basketful of “ Sjéfagel” eggs, of three 
kinds she said, Sotka, Haapuna, and Jouhi-sworsa. Of the first, 
whose name Theodore [the interpreter] translated Knipa [Golden- 
eye], I took about the half. She was certain that there were only 
these three kinds, and it appeared to be as she said, One or two of 
the Knipa-eggs are varieties in colour, and one is particularly inter- 
esting as having a ring of spots at the large end. Another had a 
kind of second egg in its centre, without shell and containing 
“white” only. This morning (13 June) we have had a kind of 
omelette made of Knipa-eggs, very good, and also a dozen boiled. 
I have seen Golden Eyes all the way up the river. 
Seven of these eggs were sold at Mr. Stevens’s, 17 February, 
1854, to Lord Garvagh (2), and Messrs. Bond (2), Wilmot (2), and 
Bridges. 
§ 5831. Zwo.—Muoniovaara, 13 June, 1853. “J. W.” 
These I took out of a tyl/yr which I afterwards found belonged to 
Ludwig. In the water nearest to it I saw a pair of Goldeneyes, 
which flew away with an anxious croaking as our boat approached. 
It is the ¢yllyr from which I took an egg previously [$ 5830]. 
§ 5832. Seven.—Muonioniska, June, 1853. 
Twenty-three eggs of Knipa or Sotka from Forsstrom, the 
merchant’s store, blown for me by Theodore, my Finnish interpreter, 
14 June. Mostly fresh. 
Six of these sold at Mr..Stevens’s, 17 February, 1854, to 
Mr. Salmon. 
[In 1861 I sent two more of these to Dr. Heerinanu. |
