368 A SPRING AND SUMMER IN LAPLAND. 



sparingly as far north, as this, and I obtained one 

 nest with six eggs. I fancy this grebe must have 

 a more extended range in Scandinavia than any 

 other of the tribe, for I never heard of any other 

 grebe being much within Lapland ; and it is only of 

 late years that this bird has been detected breeding 

 so far north. 



Both the black-throated diver (Colymbus arcti- 

 cus 9 Lin. ; " Dofta stor lorn "), and the red- throated 

 diver (C. septentrionalis; "sma lorn;" "gakkur," 

 Lap.) were common up here, and I fancy that the 

 black- throated went further up on the fells than the 

 other. -And these conclude my list of the birds 

 which I am certain are met with in the Quickiock 

 district, of which, as a reference for the naturalist, 

 I add a list, affixing an asterisk to those whose 

 eggs I obtained. There may of course be others 

 which I overlooked, but certainly not many : —
