Eggs of llichard's Pipit arc almost elliptical in sbape, the two 

 ends being closely alike in colour, and moderatel)* glossy. They 

 are greenish-white or grey, profusely mottled with brown and 

 underlying lavender-grey. Eight examples measure from '82 to •92

Four examples, forming a clutch taken by Mr. Rickett, are

 and blotched. They measure '8 by '6.
