Four eggs of the Madeiran Goldcrest in the Collection differ from 

 those of R. regulus and R. ir/nicapillus in being densely marked 

 with specks, spots, and small blotches of lilac-red and lavender. The 

 markings are most dense on the broad half of the egg. Pour 

 examples measure respectively : *55 by *43 ; '57 by *43 ; - 55 by

The eggs of the Ruby-crowned Kinglet in the Collection appear 

 to have become discoloured by damp, probably soon after they were 

 taken from the nest, or they may have been addled. Herr Nehrkom 

 states that the eggs of this species resemble those of R. ignicapillus. 

 Six examples measure on the average *55 by '45.
