The eggs of the Yellow-legged Herring Gull in the Collection are 

 fairly uniform in coloration and resemble the commoner type of 

 egg of L. argentatus, the ground-colour being buff, marked dis- 

 tinctly and evenly all over with spots and moderately-sized 

 blotches of various shades of brown and underlying pale purple. A 

 few examples are much paler than the average, the ground being 

 of a cream-colour, but marked in the usual manner. The eggs 

 measure from 2-5 to 3-05 in length, and from 1-9 to 2 in breadth.
