Lot 31. One, “ Kongasjervi,” F. ; also taken in 1854. Eggs out of 
two nests were mixed together and could not be separated, 
so that, though doubtless all were Hawk Owls, it is not 
knoAvn which of them belonged to the parent bird killed at 
one of the nests. 
,, 32. One, ^^Palojoki,” 1854. Three eggs in the catalogue of last 
year's sale were also out of this nest. 
Eagle Owl. Strix huho. Is scarce in the North of Lapland, but 
several eyries are known there. 
Lot 33. One, “ Salmojervi,” F. Of the only pair obtained in 1855. 
Should this specimen happen to fall into the hands of any 
one who cares only for pretty eggs, it may probably be 
washed clean. 
Great Grey Shrike. Lanius excabitor. The only species of 
Shrike found in Lapland. 
Lot 34. Two, Idio-uoma,” S. 1854. 
Fieldfare. Turdus 'pilaris. On the north-east coast of Norway 
the Ring Ouzel was seen breeding, but not in the interior, where 
are the Fieldfare and Redwing, with a few Song Thrushes, and, very 
scarcely, the Misseltoe Thrush. In 1855 Fieldfares were in such 
small numbers, probably on account of the previous severe winter 
in the south, that Mr. Wolley did not happen to see a single inha- 
bited nest. 
Lot 35. Three, Motka-uoma, S. 1854. This and the three following 
lots “ found by self or men in company, on June 10.” 
,, 36. One, from another nest. 
,, 37. Four, June 9, 1854, on the Russian side the river, between 
Nuimakka and Motka-uoma. The birds scolding near. 
„ 38. Two, Motka-uoma, S. 1854. 
„ 39. Three, out of a number all found by myself up in trees, and 
I believe the bird seen or heard in every case, on 12th June ; 
blown on the spot, all fresh. It was several miles above 
Motka-uoma, as I had been looking for the bear All in 
birch trees.” 1854. 
Redwing. Turdus iliacus. Not nearly so scarce as the Fieldfare 
last season ; but nest less easy to find, being near the ground, and the 
bird less clamorous. 
Lot 40. Three, Karesuando, S. 1854. Found by the Pastor, who saw 
the birds with gTeat distinctness.
