The eggs of the Siberian Ground-Thrush in the Collection vary 

 from a regular to a blunt oval form and arc not particularly glossy. 

 They arc of varying shades of greenish blue, mottled and streaked 

 with pinkish or reddish brown and underlying purple-grey. In 

 one specimen the markings are larger than usual and well-defined, 

 allowing much of the ground-colour to be seen ; in the others they 

 arc small, more or less confluent, and cover the greater portion of 

 the surface of the egg. In size they vary from 1-04 to 1-22 in 

 length, and from '76 to -88 in breadth.
