The eggs of the Yellow Wagtail are of much the same general 

 character as those of M. loiirula, but are, as a rule, of a rather 

 darker colour. The eggs of the two species cannot, however, be 

 separated with certainty from each otlier. Specimens measure 

 from "69 to "82 in length, and from -51 to "6 in breadth.
