the reddish-brown surface-colour. In one type the eggs are only 

 faintly freckled sometimes irregularly, but often at one end aad 

 occasionally at both ends, in the form of a cap. The other type 

 has the colouring-matter so thickly distributed over the whole sheU 

 as to appear of a reddish- or olive-brown tint. Examples occur 

 connecting these two types, but distinct varieties are apparently 

 scarce. One trom the Crowley Bequest, taken at Churt, in Surre/ 

 IS a pale olive-blue, almost without gloss, marked at the lar-er end 

 with a few spots and one or two large blotches of brownfsh red. 

 Another from the Salvm-Godman Collection, from Surrey is of a 

 peculiar elongated elliptical form, with a pale bluish-green ground, 

 dotted and freckled with reddish brown, rather thickly towards the 

 larger end where there is a very distinct cap. These two are the 

 cTbLets ''^''^""'^^ specimens in a total of 115 eggs in the Museum 



from° -.-il A' ^'t^'T^' n '^^"^lly ^'^y glossy. They measure 

 from ,oto-9 in length, and from -57 to -65 in breadth.
