The eggs of the Short-billed Marsh- Wren in the Collection are 

 of a broad oval shape, much pointed at the small end, and slightly 

 glossy. They are plain white, and measure respectively : *57 by *45 ; 

 •6 by '5 ; '61 by '5. Thienemann (I. c.) figures an egg considerably 

 spotted, but the most reliable American authorities agree in stating 

 that the eggs are white and spotless.
