Two eggs of the Bluck-wingcd Tanager vary considerably. One 

 example is nearly a perfect ellipse in shape, cream-coloured, and 

 very thickly freckled all over with pale brown and lavender. At the 

 broader end there are a few fine hair-lines of black. The second 

 example is of a pointed oval shape, cream-coloured, densely mottled 

 all over with pale brown, dark brown and lavender-grey. They 

 measure respectively : '91 by -Q^ ; 'OS by '65.

The eggs of the Blue-headed Tanager resemble those of Calospiza 

 atricapilla in many respects. They are of a broad oval shape, 

 and exhibit a considerable amount of gloss. The ground-colour 

 is dull greenish-white rather thickly marked, especiallj' at the 

 broad end, where the markings are more or less confluent, with 

 spots and blotches of brown and lavender-grey and with a few specks 

 and spots of very deep chocolate-brown. Two examples measure 

 respectively -ST by "67 ; '89 by "65.
