The eggs laid vary in number from four to five. I have twice found six ; 

 they are of a beautiful pale greenish blue, marked with small specks of very 

 dark brown ; some specimens have much larger markings than others, but the 

 colour of the spots is usually much paler. Spotless specimens are occasionally 

 met with, though rarely. They vary in length from ri8 to -95 inch, and 

 in breadth from '95 to 75 inch.
