On April 2, 1905, I collected, in Mindoro, a*nest with three eggs of 
this species. The ground-color of the eggs is white, under shell-markings 
faint lavender, and entire surface thickly and uniformly marked with 
elongated and twisted spots of reddish brown. The eggs measure: 26.1 
by 18.2, 25.4 by 18, and 25.1 by 19. 
The nest was composed of several leaves which were held in place by 
threads of a black hair-like fungus; cobweb and green moss in small 
quantities also entered into the construction. The lining consisted of a 
quantity of long slender fibers.
