The gruuud color of tlie eggs of Poliotila ealiforniea Brewster is 

 bright light-green, much more pronoiinced than in the eggs of either 

 1\ c(crHka •And P.plumhea, now before me. They are covered with mi- 

 nute si)ots of a brownish-red color distributed irregularly over the entire 

 surfiice of the egg, but nowhere so thick as to hide the ground-color. 

 These eggs measure .50 by .45, .58 by .45, .57 by .45, and .57 by .44 inch.
