Three out of the four eggs of the Yellow-browed Bunting in the 
Collection are very similar to the eggs in the last-mentioned clutch 
of H. fucata, described above. They are of a very broad oval shape 
aud distinctly glossy. The ground-colour is white, clouded with pale 
lilac-grey, and smudged with pale umber-brown and with irregular 
lines, dashes, and spots of dark umber-brown. In the fourth egg 
(tig. 6) the whole surface is heavily clouded with pale umber-brown, 
the lilac-grey markings being hardly apparent, though the dark 
markings are similar to those in the other three eggs of the clutch. 
They measure from ‘68 to *73 in length, and from °57 to °58 in 
breadth.

An egg of the Golden-breasted Bunting is of a rather broad and 
pointed oval form and very glossy. It is very pale bluish-white, 
wreathed round the larger end with a tracery of fine irregular 
lines and markings of dark chocolate-brown and lilac-grey. It 
measures ‘79 by *59. 
Stark describes the eggs of this species as being “ white thickly 
marked all over with scrawls and hair-like zigzag lines of very 
dark purplish-brown or black.”
