 anglica {Hartert). British Crossbill. 1/4. 

 minor {Brehm). American Crossbill. 1/4. 

 pityopsittacus {Borkh.). Parrot Crossbill, i single. 

 The best thing here, of course, is the American species. The 

 four eggs are very sparsely marked and much resemble faintty 

 marked Greenfinch eggs. The single egg of the Parrot Crossbill 

 was bought from Monsieur Cavro's collection and came from Cholm, 

 in Poland. It is the largest Loxia egg I have ever seen and much 

 larger than the eggs usually attributed to this species.

,, enropaea {Vieill.). Continental Bullfinch. 1/4. 



,, pileata {Macgill.). British Bullfinch. Good series.

These eggs do not differ much. My collector-correspondent in 

 North Finland assures me they do not lay five eggs* ; yet dealers — !

 ,, palustris {Savi). Intermediate Reed Bunting. 1/2. 



* pinicola enucleator hat niemals mehr als 4 Eier — oft nur 3. Ich habe 

 mehr als 100 Gelege gehabt und alle von 3-4 Eier.
