“ The eggs are very variable in size, shape, and mark¬ 
ing, generally less than eggs from Greenland, where the 
bird, whether it be considered distinct or not, appears to 
be of a larger size ; but it is remarkable how precisely 
nests from such distant parts of the world resemble each 
other in materials and structure ; not a twig or filament 
in the pretty nests from Greenland but what is repeated 
in the equally pretty Lapland nests. 
“The time for laying seems very variable. In one 
wood eggs and young birds are to be found in every 
stage of advance before there could have been time for 
any to belong to a second brood."
