(The entries in the Egg-book of these specimens are so brief that to print 
them as they stand would fail to tell the story, without the interpolation of 
much comment and explanation. But fortunately the whole story was told 
by Mr. Wolley himself in the first number of ‘The Ibis’ for January 1859 
(pp. 69-76). I therefore reproduce it here entire, for no abstract could do it 
justice, and it needs no further preface. } 
The first year I was in Lapland, 1853, it was important for me to 
find out the native, that is, the Finnish, names for the birds of the 
country. Of the ducks generally I soon learned to understand to 
which species each name referred ; but there was one called Ungilo’, 
concerning which I was for a long time in thedark. It was described 
as breeding in holes of trees, or in ¢yllas, that is, nest-boxes. It was 
1 [Neither Ungilo nor Uinilo—the form, as will immediately be seen, used in 
the Sodankyla district—is recognized as a bird’s name by Lonnrot in his great 
‘ Finskt-Svenskt Lexicon’; but he has (ii. p. 808) Uzvelo as that of Mergus albellus. 
Uinelo he renders (ii. p. 805, under Uvtnella) by the Swedish slummer, drom, 
svdrmerti—that is, slumber, dream, reverie. Prof. Palmén (Finska Foglar, ii. 
p- 541) prints the name Uinelo, and that is most likely right. Knoblock in writing 
indulged, as was his wont, in several variants, Ojnelé, Ongel@ among them, of 
which I take no account further on, keeping the Muonio-valley form Ungilo as 
written by Mr. Wolley.—Eb. }
