during the Spring and Summer of 1857. 
nowhere very common, though we often came across a pair in 
the vicinity of buildings. 
26. The Tree Pipit. Anthus arhoreus. 
We killed one individual of this species June 2nd, the first 
day we observed it. After this date their note was constantly to 
be heard in the marsh. 
27. The Meadow Pipit (. Anthus pratensis) was common in 
the marsh at Bodo, being there at the end of April. 
28. The Bock Pipit ( Anthus aquations) we also found in 
tolerable abundance on the sea-shore. 
29. The Sky-Lark. Alauda arvensis. 
Abundant in the marsh, and arrived before us. We found a 
nest May 25th. 
30. The Snow Bunting. Emberiza nivalis . 
The snow had so far melted when first I arrived, that clear 
patches were here and there to be seen. A flock of Snow Bunt¬ 
ings and Mealy Bedpolls were sure to be feeding in every bare 
place. They were extremely tame—probably from the cold, and 
not from hunger, as some specimens that I shot proved that they 
found no difficulty in procuring food, being in very good con¬ 
dition. Some were in full summer plumage, others had not 
yet thrown off the dusky coat they usually wear in England. 
As the snow melted these birds became less common, and at 
last left the place altogether.— P. G. 
31. The Lapland Bunting. Emberiza calcarata. 
Only one individual of this species (a male in summer plu¬ 
mage) was noticed at Bodo, May 11th. This was in company 
with a flock of Snow Buntings and Mealy Redpolls. It was 
there only two days, so far as I could ascertain.—P. G. 
Whilst traversing the Ejeld between the Norwegian coast and 
the Gulf of Bothnia, we saw several pairs that were doubtless 
breeding there. 
32. The Black-headed Bunting (Emberiza schceniclus) , of 
which we found several nests, was by no means rare. We re¬ 
marked that there appeared to be two sizes of this Bunting. Of
