Nine eggs of the Rock-Sparrow are of a broad oval form and 
slightly glossy. They are dull white or pale grey, densely streaked, 
blotched, and marbled with umber-brown in some cases, and with 
purplish-brown and lilac in others. In some specimens the markings 
are very evenly distributed over the shell; in others they are 
extremely dense at the large end, where they form a eap, and 
sparse elsewhere. Examples measure from ‘8 to 92 in length, and 
from °6 to ‘64 in breadth.
