Four eggs of the Chinese Whistling-Thrush are not separable 

 from many of the eggs of M. temmincki. They are greyish white, 

 freckled all over with very pale brownish pink, which becomes of a 

 slightly darker tint at the broad end. They measure respectively : 

 1-4 by -1 ; 1-32 by -98 ; 1-33 by -98 ; 1-28 by -95.

Eggs of the Malabar Whistling-Thrush are of much the same 

 character as those of M. temmincki, but they are on the average 

 more boldly marked. The ground-colour is greyish white or 

 pinkish white, speckled, spotted and blotched with pale brownish 

 pink and underlying lilac, the markings being, as a rule, distri- 

 buted all over the surface. In size they range from 1-14 to T45 

 in length, and from -93 to *98 in breadth.
