Some eggs of the Silver-blue Tanager are of a blunt oval shape, 
approaching the elliptical, and without gloss. The ground is 
cream-colour, but this is almost entirely concealed from view by 
the markings, which consist of more or less confluent smears, 
streaks and clouds of two or more shades of rich brown. Some 
examples are also minutely spotted with dark reddish-brown, almost 
black in intensity. © Other eggs coliected by Blancaneaux are of a 
somewhat narrow oval shape and are less densely marked, quite 
half the ground-colour being visible. They are speckled and 
mottled with brown, purplish-brown and lavender-grey. Some of 
these have hair-lines of a dark colour at the broad end. Specimens 
measure from °83 to 1 in length, and from °6 to 66 in breadth.
