The eggs of the Yellow-throated Miner are of a more or less 
pointed oval form and somewhat glossy. The ground-colour varies 
from pale pinkish- or buffy-white to pale brick-colour, and the 
markings, which consist of numerous spots and small blotches of 
purplish-brown, reddish-brown, and lavender, vary considerably in 
both tint and number in different examples. In all, they are most 
numerous round the larger end, but in some examples they are 
thickly scattered over the whole surface of the shell. They measure 
from 1:1 to 1:15 in length, and from -71 to °75 in breadth.

and lilac-grey, the markings being very evenly distributed over the
