„ 37. One, same nest. 
,, 38. One, same nest. 
Fieldfare. Turdus Pilaris. This bird still continues to be 
scarce in Lapland ; the following are the only eggs brought in last 
year, in which Mr. Wolley has perfect confidence. 
Lot 39. Three, “ Karesuando,” S. Dark variety. 
„ 40. Two, same nest. Ditto. 
„ 41. Three, “ Markina.” Light variety.

Redwing. Turdus Iliacus. The finders of all the eggs, which 
form the following lots, gave a very characteristic account of the 
nests. 
Lot 43. Two, “ Muoniovara,” S. Dark variety. 
,, 44. One, same nest. 
„ 45. Two, “ Modasjervi,” Light variety. 
„ 46. One, same nest. Deeply marked. 
„ 47. Two, “ Karesuando,” S. Light variety. 
„ 48. One, same nest. Deeply marked. 
Blue-throated Warbler. Sylvia Suecica. The belief expressed 
by Mr. Wolley, in the Sale Catalogue of last year, that the Scan- 
dinavian form of this species seemed as likely as the Dutch to 
occur in England, appears to be quite correct. The first specimen 
of this bird recorded to have been met with in the British islands, 
killed in 1826, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and now preserved in the 
museum of that town, is a remarkably fine male, exhibiting the 
brilliant reddish brown “ shield” in the centre of the blue throat, 
which is characteristic of the northern race or species, the true 
Motacilla Suecica, of Linnaeus, to which belong all the examples 
obtained by Mr. Wolley. Within the last year too, a bird was 
obtained near Lowestoft, and recorded in the “Zoologist,” (page 5159) 
which exhibits, but in a less degree, the same peculiarities. 
Lot 49. Two, “ Palojoki,” F. 
„ 50. Two, same nest. 
,, 51. Two, “Nyimakka,” S. 
,, 52. Two, same nest.
