The eggs of the Jackdaw vary from a narrow to a broad oval 
shape and exhibit a considerable amount of gloss, ‘The ground- 
colour ranges from bluish-white to pale bluish-green and the eggs 
are marked with dark greenish-brown, umber-brown or blackish- 
brown and underlying lavender. The markings on some specimens 
consist entirely of spots and specks; in others of spots and bold 
blotches. They are generally evenly distributed over the shell, 
but in a small proportion they are somewhat more dense at the 
broad end than elsewhere. Two examples in the Collection are 
bluish-white, marked with merely a few blotches of pale lavender. 
Speciinens measure from 1°28 to 1°6 in length, and from °91 to 1°03 
in breadth.
