which Mr. Hewitson first figured the eggs. The bird is scarcely 
known to the Scandinavian museums ; and its eggs are desiderata in 
perhaps all continental cabinets. It seems very local in Lapland.

variety with the larger and more distinct markings. The

Temminck’s Stint. Tringa Temminckii. Since the summer quar- 
ters of this bird were found in 1853, constant endeavour has been 
made to detect the breeding place of its congener, the Little Stint, 
which it was hoped might be on the shores of East Finmark, as it 
had been reported that it was ; but it now seems that it must be 
somewhere beyond Lapland, in the undiscovered regions of the Knot, 
Curlew Sandpiper, and Sanderling. Hence no doubt as to species 
can attach to any of the following eggs.
