_ Eggs of the Horned Lark are of a pointed oval shape and are 

 distinctly glossy.^ They are greenish-white, profusely freckled all 

 over with greeuish-grey or pale olive-brown, with traces of pale 

 lavender underlying the other markings. Some specimens exhibit 

 a few black specks and fine lines on the broad end. The markings 

 are often very dense at this end, and form a well-defined confiuent 

 zone. Specimens measure from -86 to -98 in length, and from -6 

 to -68 in breadth.
