in flower. The day stormy, and very cold. Goosanders are shot 
even at this time of the year at Warsnis, by Kalmar sportsmen, with 
the aid of wooden decoy birds. It is a beautiful spot, where mag- 
nificent oaks grow among firs and other trees, while junipers attain 
even to twenty feet. 
[A fifth egg from this nest was given to us by Mr. Hudleston on his 
return home. | 
§ 5879. Zhree.—Warsnias, 17 May, 1856. 
§ 5880. Hive.—Warsnas, 1856. 
[These eggs were not entered by Mr. Wolley, but are inscribed by Mr. Simpson 
(Hudleston), who probably obtained them. I suppose them to be from 
different nests. | 
[§ 5881. One——Warsnas, 1856. From Mr. Simpson. 
Most likely belonging to the last. } 
§ 5882. Zhree.—Karkula, Kittila, 1857. 
These fine eggs have a near resemblance to Meri-lintu [Scoter’s], 
but on comparison are larger and less of the colour of a magnum 
bonumplum. They were sent by Kyro Niku, having been bought by 
him of his brother Pekka, who had bought them in Karkula near 
Kittila. 
[Three more were sold at Mr. Stevens’s, 23 February, 1858, two to 
Mr. Braikenridge, one to Mr. Burney. } 
§ 5883. One.—East Bothnia, June, 1858. 
Brought 19 June by Johan Petter Vassara, who said he had found 
it a week or two before in a ¢ylla, and saw the bird and knew it was 
Uu-Koskelo [Goosander]. It was more than two miles [Swedish] 
from Adkasjirvi, so that he could not go to it again.
