with olive-brown, yellowish brown, and underlying pale lavender. 

 Many specimens of this type are also spotted with deep umber- 

 brown. In another type the ground-colour is salmon-pink, smudged 

 and clouded with darker pink and grey and marked with spots and 

 lines of rich reddish brown. In a third type the shell is white, 

 prettily blotched and speckled with chestnut and pale lavender. 

 Comparatively few eggs of the Blackcap exhibit any well-defined 

 cap or zone at the larger end, the markings being generally evenly 

 distributed over the whole shell. They measure from '7 to *87 in 

 length, and from -56 to '6 in breadth.
