The eggs of the Rock-Pipit are of a pointed oval shape and 

 exhibit a moderate amount of gloss. The ground-colour varies from 

 greyish-wlute to very pule greyish-green, but is often almost entirely 

 concealed from view by the markings, which consist of a profusion 

 of small blotches, streaks, and spots of olive-brown in some eggs, 

 and rufous-brown or plain brown in others. The density of the 

 markings varies considerably, some eggs being nearly covered by 

 thera and some being more distinctly marked with small blotches 

 which allow a considerable part of the ground to be seen. On many 

 specimens there are a few black spots and lines at the broad end 

 Jl-xamples measure from -8 to -95 in length, and from -6 to -66 in 

 breadth.
