Lot 66. One, Annas joki,” F. This at present almost unique egg 
is offered for sale by auction in the hope that in that way it 
may get into one of the cabinets where it would be most 
highly appreciated. 
Siberian Jay. Garrulus infaustus. This is the most difficult 
egg to get, even where the bird is common. Hence it is almost un- 
known, and is one of the principal desiderata to continental collec- 
tions. It is even ranked with the Waxwing in the eagerness with 
v/hich it is wished for. The bird breeds whilst everything is still 
covered with the winter’s snow, and is extremely cautious not to 
betray its nest. Mr. Wolley obtained three injured eggs in 1854, 
but perfect ones in 1855. 
Lot 67. One, Eowa, F. 
,, 68. One, from the same place. 
European three-toed Woodpecker. Ficus tridactylus. This 
interesting Woodpecker is the commonest of its family in the Lap- 
land forests. 
Lot 69. One, Salmojervi, F. 
Lesser spotted Woodpecker. Ficus minor. Of this bird, 
whose egg Mr. Wolley could never obtain in England, he has had 
the good fortune to find several inhabited holes in Lapland. 
Lot. 70. One, Lake Enara, F. This nest was met with during the 
journey in search of the fabled rarities of Lake Enara. 
There were nine eggs, hard sat upon. 
Willow Ptarmigan. Tetrao saliceti. In the Summer avoids the 
most elevated stations. 
Lot 71. Two, Karesuando, S., 1854. 
Ptarmigan. Tetrao lag opus. In Lapland, as in Scotland, great 
care is required that the nest of the allied species may not be mis- 
taken for that of the Ptarmigan. 
Lot 72. One, Annas tunturi, F. Brought with the bird by a most 
careful Lap who pastures his deer on that mountain ; where 
Mr. Wolley also once found a nest. 
„ 73. One, same nest. 
„ 74. One, from another nest brought from the same mountain
