The eggs of Gray's Ouzel are for the most part broad ovals, 

 with the smaller end rather blunt. They have but little gloss. 

 The ground-colour varies from cream-colour to a very pale bluish 

 green, and is thickly speckled, mottled and streaked with reddish- 

 and purplish-brown and underlying lilac. The markings are evenly 

 distributed over the shell, but occasionally form an ill-defined cap at 

 the broad end. The eggs measure from : 9 to 1*26 in length, and 

 from '78 to *9S in breadth.

An egg of the Mexican White-throated Ouzel in the Collection, 

 from the Crowley Bequest, has a rather bright pale blue ground, 

 not very thickly sprinkled, except at the larger end where there is 

 a distinct cap, with spots and small blotches of purple-brown and 

 bright lilac, bearing a considerable resemblance to the lighter- 

 coloured eggs of the Fieldfare. It measures 1/15 by "S3.
