Eii;gs of the Siskin are typically of a poiuted oval form and very 

 slightly glossy. They are blnish-white, speckled and blotched, 

 more thickly over the hroad end than elsewhere, with pale rufous 

 and underlying lilac. The majority of the specimens are marked in 

 addition, and almost entirely at the broad end, with a few specks 

 and lines of deep chocolate-brown or black, and are not separable 

 from the eggs of the Goldfinch. They measure from '6 to "72 in 

 length, and from "45 to "53 in breadth.
