Compared with eggs of E. rubecula, those of the Teneriffe Robin 

 seem to be less glossy and more highly coloured, the markings 

 being of a somewhat richer and darker rufous-brown, with a 

 more noticeable amount of underlying lavender-grey, especially at 

 the larger end. There is no difference in size ; the eggs in the 

 Collection vary from *76 to "84 in length, and from '58 to # 00 in 

 breadth.
