specks of a darker colour. The markings are few in number and 
almost entirely confined to the broader half of the egg. Two 
examples measure respectively : -62 by ‘51; and -66 by ‘51. 
A third egg from Costa Rica, referred to this species by 
Mr. Underwood, differs much from the above. It has the ground 
white, minutely but not very thickly speckled all over with pale 
lavender-grey and purplish-red. It measures *7 by -52.

Five eggs of Lesson’s Euphonia are of a blunt ova! form, slightly 
glossy, and of a uniform pale greenish-blue colour. ‘They measure 
respectively: -72 by °52; ‘69 by -55; -69 by -d; -69 by -48;

The eggs of Bonaparte’s Euphonia resemble those of ZL. affines, 
both in colour and size.

* Cherrie described the eggs as being ‘“‘ white, thickly speckled in a ring 
about the larger end with light walnut-brown and over this some larger spots 
of seal-brown,” &e, This description agrees with the eggs of E. eleyantissima, 
which species was also procured. Possibly some mistake has been made by 
the collector in identifying the parent bird. Eggs of E. hirundinacea described 
and figured by Nehrkorn resemble those procured by G. F. Gaumer, and are 
of a uniform greenish-blue colour.
