 PLATE CCVII. FIG. I. 



Uria SrunnicJiii, FLEMING. JZNTNS. 



THE eggs of this species are like those of the common kind most 

 variable in colour. The ground tint is greenish blue. They are, Mr. 

 Hewitson observes, less fantastically streaked and blotted than those 

 of the other, but sometimes very regularly and beautifully marked all 

 over with small spots.
