Two eggs of the Black-winged Tanager vary considerably. One 
example is nearly a perfect ellipse in shape, cream-coloured, and 
very thickly freckled all over with pale brown and lavender. At the 
broader end there are a few fine hair-lines of black. The second 
example is of a pointed oval shape, cream-coloured, densely mottled 
all over with pale brown, dark brown and lavender-grey. They 
measure respectively: -91 by *64; -93 by -65,

An egg of the Archbishop Tanager is of a long pointed oval form, 
and displays scarcely any gloss. It is white, thickly clouded and 
blotched all over the shell with purplish-grey, with scattered spots, 
streaks and irregular markings of deep purplish-brown. It 
measures 1*1 by 71.

The eggs of the Blue-headed Tanager resemble those of Calespiza 
atricapilla in many respects. They are of a broad oval shape, 
and exhibit a considerable amount of gloss. The ground-colour 
is dull greenish-white rather thickly marked, especially at the 
broad end, where the markings are more or less confluent, with 
spots and blotches of brown and lavender-grey and with a few specks 
and spots of very deep chocolate-brown. Two examples measure 
respectively °87 by ‘67; ‘89 by ‘65,
