 markings are extremely varied. A certain number of eggs are 

 plain white and others are very sparingly marked, but the majority 

 are very handsomely spotted, blotched, arid smeared with various 

 shades of rufous, brown, purplish grey, and brownish pink. In one 

 common type, the shell is covered with spots and well-defined small 

 blotches of rufous ; in another, the markings consist of specks and 

 blotches of* rufous which form a confluent cap at the larger end ; in 

 another type, the egg is thickly smeared and blotched with chocolate- 

 brown, A few specimens are very thickly smeared and streaked 

 with brownish pink, while others are densely blotched with reddish 

 brown and underlying purplish grey. A series measures from 2' 65 

 to 3*2 in length, and from 2-15 to 2-5 in breadth.
