Eggs of the Yellow Warbler, or Summer Yellow-bird, are of a 

 pointed oval shape and moderately glossy. They are greenish- 

 white, spotted and blotched with two or more shades of brown, and 

 light purple or slaty-grey. The markings are sparse on the smaller 

 half of the egg, but dense on the larger, where they often form a 

 cap or a broad irregular zone. On two s])ecimens in the CoUectiou 

 they are confined to a broad belt round the middle of the egg. 

 Examples measure from "62 to -71 in length, and from "IS to '52 

 in breadth.
