Two eggs of the Bokhara Grey Titmouse are of a rather long, 

 pointed oval form. The ground-colour is white, with light red and 

 lavender dots and spots scattered pretty thickly over the whole 

 shell. They measure respectively *71 by *5 and '74 by '51.

The eggs of the Green-backed Titmouse are very similar to those 

 of the Indian Grey Titmouse. The markings, however, are of a 

 much richer colour, being of a deep reddish-brown or purplish-red. 

 Specimens measure from -64 to -75 in length, and from -5 to '54 in 

 breadth.
