Eggs of March’s Grassquit are well represented in the 
Collection and are very similar to those of Z. olivacea, but some are 
of a broader oval form, and in some the markings round the larger 
end form a densely marked zone or cap. They measure from ‘61 
to ‘7 in length, and from °48 to °52 in breadth.

According to Nehrkorn, the eggs of the Jacarini Grassquit 
resemble those laid by the various species of Hwethia. 
An egg said to be of this species, but more probably that of some 
species of Hlainea, 18 of a blunt oval shape and almost devoid of 
gloss. It is pale creamy-white with a few scattered spots and dots 
of chocolate-brown, mostly situated round the larger end. It 
measures ‘68 by ‘5.
