There is considerable difference in the size of the eggs of the 

 Chinese series of the Eastern Blue Eock-Thrush in the Collection. 

 In colour the eggs vary but little, being of the same delicate pale 

 blue tint as those of their western congeners, in some cases sparingly 

 dotted with rufous-brown at the larger end. In size they range 

 from 0-9 to 1-27 in length, and from 0-75 to 0-85 in breadth.
