The eggs of the Jackdaw vary from a narrow to a broad oval 

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

 colour ranges from bluish-wliite to pale bluish-green and the eggs 

 are marked with dark greenish-brown, umber-brown or blacki.sh- 

 browu and underlying lavender. The markings on some sjiecimcns 

 consist entirelj' of spots and specks ; in others of spots and bold 

 blotches. They are generally evenly distributed over the shell, 

 but in a small proportion they are somewhat more dense at the 

 broad end than elsewhere. Two examples in the Collection are 

 bluish-white, marked with merely a tew blotches of pale lavender. 

 Specimens measure from 1*28 to 1-6 in length, and from '91 to I'Ob 

 in breadth.
