The majority of the eggs of the White Wagtail very closely 

 resemble those of the Pied AVagtail, but the ground-colour is more 

 generally of a decided bluish tinge. Some specimens, however, 

 differ in having the markings coarser and of an olive-brown colour. 

 A single specimen in the Collection (fig. 16) is almost uumarked 

 except at the broad end, where there is a dense sooty-black cap.
