LAP OWL. 139 
I am able to give a figure of the egg from my own collection. It 
was taken in Lapland by Mr. Wolley's collector, Knoblock, and with 
one other came into my possession in 1873. I have also two from 
Kittila in Lapland, sent to me by Dr. Meves of Stockholm. Knoblock's 
eggs measure two and a quarter inches by one and five eighths inches, 
and two and three sixteenths by one and a half inches. They are 
pure glossy white, the smaller having one or two nest stains like the 
smaller egg in "Ootheca Wolleyana."
