Eggs of the Malabar "Whistling-Thrush are of much the same 

 character as those of M. temminchi, but they are on the average 

 more boldly marked. The ground-colour is greyish white or 

 pinkish white, speckled, spotted and blotched with pale browni.'^h 

 pink and underlying lilac, the markings being, as a rule, distri- 

 buted all over the surface. In size they range from 1'14 to 1'45
