A clutch of four eggs of the "Western Red-breasted Thrush or 

 " Eobin " from Los Angeles, California, are, as might be supposed, 

 exactly like those of the very closely allied Eastern form, T. migra- 

 torius, and of a glossy greenish blue without any markings. They 

 vary from 1 - 10 to 1*27 in length, and from -80 to '81 in breadth.
