The eggs of the Jungle Wren-Warbler are of a rather elongate 

 oval form and glossj-. The ground-colour varies ; in many speci- 

 mens it is of a pale greenish-blue or greenish-white colour, in 

 others, perhaps the majority, it is cream-coloured or very pale 

 pinkish buff. It is usually very thickly freckled with reddish- 

 brown, and the markings generalljr become excessively dense and 

 form a well-defined zone round the broad end. In a few examples 

 the markings are larger and more blotchy, but the zone at the 

 large end is always present, as in the common type of egg. A 

 series of specimens measure from •G4 to "75 in length, and from 

 •49 to '53 in breadth.
