Twelve eggs of the Carib Grassquit are of a regular oval shape 
and are almost devoid of gloss. Nine of them resemble those of 
E. olivacea, but the remaining three have the entire shell finely 
mottled and clouded with dull brick-red, the markings being densest 
towards the larger end. They measure from °65 to -69 in length, 
and from ‘47 to 52 in breadth.
