A clutch of four eggs of the Western Red-breasted Thrush or 

 " Robin " from Los Angeles, California, are, as might be supposed, 

 exactly like those of the very closely allied Eastern form, T. migra- 

 torius, and of a glossy greenish blue without any markings. They 

 vary from 1-10 to 1'27 in length, and from -80 to -81 in breadth.

Eggs of the Wood-Thrush show considerable variation in form, 

 from a blunt to an ordinary, or even a much elongated, oval, and 

 are decidedly glossy. They are of a pale blue or greenish-blue 

 colour, unspotted ; at least it is very rare to meet with any markings 

 on them. In size they vary from -95 to 1-12 in length, by from 

 70 to -81 in breadth.
