CATALOGUE. 
Golden Eagle. Falco fulvus. A pair of Golden Eagles is gene- 
rally to be found at the foot of the several groups of mountains in the 
interior, building upon some great tree ; less frequently on a rock ; 
the reverse of what we see in Scotland. The Sea Eagle, on the other 
hand, is mostly near the coast, or on large lakes, as with us. 
Lot 1. One, from a nest in a tree near Akes Lombola, F. It was 
slightly cracked in extracting the young one. The other 
egg was already hatched. This specimen is closely spotted 
and blotched, chiefly at the smaller end, with several shades 
of pale brown and lilac. It is of the full size of Scotch eggs. 
Osprey. Falco haliceetus. As the bird goes to the South in the 
winter, it is not unlikely that some of the specimens, which from time 
to time are killed in England have been bred in Lapland. These 
eggs are especially interesting to any one who may have only the 
eggs of the American bird now so common in collections {Pan- 
dion Carolinensis of M. Bonaparte). Indeed, more advanced col- 
lectors, who already have European specimens, may, perhaps, still 
find examples of varieties which it is desirable to secure for their 
cabinets. 
Lot 2. One, Muonioniska.” F. An egg, with beautiful shades of 
colour, of remarkable brilliancy. 
„ 3. Two, from the same nest . 
„ 4. One, Palojoki,” S. Has very clean marbling in the masses 
of colour, and is delicately marked. 
,, 5. Two, from the same nest ; are boldly blotched. 
,, 6. One, F. 2oth May,” &c., near Muonioniska. An egg with 
several kinds of marking well mixed together — shews the 
silvery dirt stains. 
„ 7. Two, same nest.
