Jourd. Eggs Europ. Birds, p. 69, pl. 9. figs. 5-8 (1906). 
The eggs of the Common Bullfinch are of a pointed oval form 
and moderately glossy. The ground-colour is bluish-green, spotted 
and blotched with chocolate or reddish-brown and underlying lilac. 
The markings, which sometimes include short lines and streaks, are 
generally dense at the large end, where they form a zone or cap, 
and rather sparse elsewhere. The Collection contains a set of white 
eggs from Invermoriston. Specimens measure from *7 to °85 in 
length, and from *53 to ‘6 in breadth. 
Three eggs from Cassel, Germany, are abnormally small. 
They 
measure respectively : -55 by ‘42; -59 by 49; and °62 by -5.
