ACANTHIZA. 231 



Three eggs of the Red-rumped Tit-Warbler are of a rather wide 

 oval shape ; the ground-colour white, slightly glossed and finely 

 dotted and marked with light red, the markings being most numerous 

 round the larger end, where they form a more or less denned zone. 

 A single egg from the Nehrkorn Collection, said to be of this 

 species, is very different, the yellowish-brown markings being nearly 

 all collected in a cap on the larger end. They measure '61 to '65 

 in length, by -49 in breadth.

The eggs of the Striated Tit-Warbler in the Collection are of a 

 regular oval shape and slightly glossy. They are white, speckled 

 with chestnut-brown and very faint lavender. The markings are 

 almost all concentrated at the broad end, where they form a well- 

 defined zone. At this part there are also a few black specks and 

 fine lines. They measure '63 to *67, by -47 to '5.

The eggs of the Yellow-rumped Tit-Warbler are of a pointed 

 oval shape and slightly glossy. Many are plain white, others are 

 sparingly speckled at the broad end with rufous, and others are 

 boldly marked with spots and small blotches of chestnut-brown, 

 chiefly at the broad end. They measure from -59 to -76 in length, 

 and from '47 to *52 in breadth.
