The eggs of the Capercailzie are broad ovals. The shell is slightly 

 rough and possesses only a small amount of gloss. They are very 

 uniformly of a pale reddish buff', marked with specks, spots and 

 small blotches of reddish brown. In some, the markings consist 

 only of small specks very closely set over the shell ; in others, they 

 consist of both specks and spots ; in others, again, the markings 

 consist of spots and a number of small blotches of irregular shape. 

 They measure from 2 to 2'4: in length, and from 1"G to 1-7 in 

 breadtli.
