A clutch of four eggs of the Western Eed-breasted Thrush or 

 " Robin " from Los Angeles, California, are, as might be supposed, 

 exactly like those of the very closely allied Eastern form, T. micp-a- 

 torius, and of a glossy greenish blue without any markings. They 

 vary from I'lO to 1*27 in length, and from -80 to '81 in breadth.

Eggs of the Wood-Thrush show considerable variation in form, 

 from a blunt to an ordinary, or even a much elongated, oval, and 

 are decidedly glossy. They are of a pale blue or greenish-blue 

 colour, unspotted ; at least it is very rare to meet with any markings 

 on them. In size they vary from '95 to 1'12 iu length, by from 

 •70 to 'SI in breadth.
