Eggs of the Rustic Bunting are of a blunt oval shape and 
moderately glossy. Two eggs have the ground-colour pale greyish- 
green, mottled all over with two shades of greenish-brown and a 
black hair-line across the larger end. Under these markings, which 
are very thickly disposed over the shell, may be detected traces of 
underlying greyish spots. Eight eggs have the ground-colour pale 
blue or greenish-blue, spotted and blotched, especially towards the 
larger end, with olive-brown and lavender-grey, the latter colour 
forming a more or less distinct zone round the broad end, ‘They 
measure from °78 to °81 in length, and from *55 to ‘61 in breadth.*

* Baedeker’s figures of the eggs of this Bunting are good, but Bree’s repro- 
duction of one of them is altogether wrong and unrecognizable. Mr. Dresser’s 
description of the eggs in the ‘ Birds of Europe’ applies to those of some other 
species of Bunting, and he was evidently misled by his correspondent. He 
subsequently obtained genuine eggs. (Cf. Newton, J. c.)
