Two eggs of the White-winged Grosbeak are much like those of 
Perissospiza icteroides in general appearance. They are of a long 
oval shape and somewhat glossy. The ground-colour is of a pale 
warm grey, with boldly-marked knots, spots, and tangled lines of 
rich dark brown and underlying cloudy markings of purplish- or 
brownish-grey. In one specimen the markings are almost entirely 
confined to the larger end, but in the specimen figured, though 
more numerous round the Jarger end, they are also distributed 
over the rest of the shell. ‘Chey measure respectively 1:2 by 
eand el7 by 77.
