The eggs of the Grey-backed Warbler are not, as a rule, separable 

 from those of the Rufous Warbler. 



Five eggs, however, forming a clutch taken at Shiraz, are pale 

 blue, delicately marked with pale brown and underlying lavender. 

 They differ very conspicuously from all the other eggs of the Grey- 

 backed and Rufous Warblers in the Collection. Specimens measure 

 from -75 to -9 in length, and from -59 to '65 in breadth.
