The eggs of the Common Bullfinch are of a pointed oval form 

 and moderately glossy. The ground-colour is bluish-green, spotted 

 and blotched with chocolate or reddish-brown find underlying lilac. 

 The markings, which sometimes include short lines and streaks, are 

 generally dense at the large end, where they form a zone or cap, 

 and rather sparse elsewhere. The Collection contains a set of white 

 eggs from Invermoriston. Specimens measure from '7 to 'So in 

 length, and from -53 to '6 in breadth. 



Three eggs from Cassel, Germany, are abnormally small. The}- 

 measure respectively : '55 by '42 ; "SO by "49 ; and "62 by "5.
