O14 CLANGULA GLAUCION. 
§ 5833. Five—Nialima, 19 June, 1853. “J. W.” 
Of six which I found in a tyllyr. The bird was sitting upon 
them, and I wondered what it could be, so soft and still, when I 
put my hand into the depths of the box. As I took her out, her 
sharp claws shewed me how she might manage to get in and out of 
her habitation. Herr Salomon has made a skin of her. The eggs 
had large young inside, with heads of the characteristic shape of the 
Goldeneye. The down of the nest was white. 
§ 5834. Zhree.—Nilima, 19 June, 1853. 
Knipa, here called Sotka, bought with the Scoters’ [§ 5685]. We 
saw a great number of fyl/yrs about this place. Light, at least, in 
sight at once. 
§ 5835. Siv.—Kitkessuando, | July, 1853. “J. W.” 
In a ¢yllyr at this place are six eggs of Sotka according to the 
owner. They are a little sat upon, and deserted, so I take them. 
The down is white, as usual in the Goldeneye. Other Sotka-eggs 
we buy to eat. 
§ 5836. Four.—Jerisjirvi, 1853. 
Four eggs of Goldeneye at Jerisjarvi from ¢yllyrs. At Toras- 
sieppi, in my walk after Nédrhi* (Sidensvans [Waxwing]), I was 
shewn a stump in the hollow top of which was a Sotka’s nest. 
Climbing up, perhaps sixteen feet, I found six or seven young, and 
an unhatched egg. The young remained perfectly still with their 
heads down, among the white down at the bottom, that is some two 
feet from the top—little black things, with stiff feathers in the tail, 
and three or four pairs of white spots on the upper surface, and a 
white throat. The old bird left the nest, scolding, as we approached, 
and remained in the water at no great distance off. 
1 [Mr. Wolley, the first summer of his being in Lapland, when he was always 
enquiring for the Waxwing, was induced to believe that the bird called Narhz, 
said to have a reddish plumage and to come in bad seasons, was Ampelis garrulus. 
He subsequently found it to be the Jay (Garrulus glandarius), which is of irregular 
appearance only in the district.—Ep. |]
