The eggs of the Winter Wren in the Collection resemble, as stated 

 "by Nehrkorn, those of Cistothorus platensis, and are quite unlike 

 our other eggs of the genus Anorthura. They are of a regular oval 

 form, thickly speckled on a pinkish-white ground with bright reddish 

 and dull purplish brown, chiefly towards the larger end. They are 

 from -66 to -7 by from -46 to -51.

 they are plain white ; but for the most part they are wjrite } deli- 

 cately and very sparingly speckled with rufous and lilaV. Four
