Goshawk. Falco P alunibarius. Many oi the eggs commonly seen 
in collections as those of this species seem to be wrongly named. 
Some, from their small size, are doubtless selected varieties of those 
of the Common Buzzard ; others may very possibly be the produce 
of the American A star atricapillus of Prince C. L. Bonaparte, a bird 
of which no trace has ever been discovered in Lapland. 
Lot 16. One. Though marked “Contanen,” a village on the Swedish 
side, this egg was taken from a nest in Finland, nearly 
thirty English miles to the north-east, which must be 
on the extreme limits of the Scotch-fir forests,

Rough-legged Buzzard. Falco Lagopus. Mr. Wolley has the

following lots, are from a district whence he has had so many clear 
proofs of the presence of the Rough-legged species, without the 
slightest exception, that he is very confident that they may be 
depended upon. 
Lot 23. Three, C( Palajoki,” F.

„ 29. One, same place. 
Hawk Owl, Strix Funerea, This species is one of the most 
uncertain breeders in Lapland. They have been very scarce in the 
districts, where Mr. Wolley’s collections have been formed, since 
1853 ; and it may be years before another inroad of Lemmings 
induces them to return in any numbers. 
Lot 30, One, “ Kurkiovara, F.” 
„ 31. One, same nest, 
„ 32. One, same nest. Has a large hole,

Eagle Owl. Strix Bubo. The eggs of this bird from Lapland 
may be received with perfect confidence. Unfortunately, all the
