Greenshank. Totanus glottis. Breeds by no means plentifully, 
unless in the far east of the country. It will be seen that most of 
the following eggs were obtained in 1854. In the eyes of the writer, 
the Greenshank’ s are amongst the most beautiful of eggs.

Jack Snipe. Scolopax gallinula. This was first satisfactorily 
ascertained in 1853, when the birds were shot off several nests. 
As the egg is unknown to Swedish naturalists, it is probably not to

Jack Snipe is a very late breeder. 
Lot 108. One, Yixi,” S. 1854. From a marsh at the back of 
Muoniovara, whence the young birds were also obtained in

most characteristic appearance of the egg.
