The eggs of the Buff-ramped Tit-Warbler are of a broad oval 

 shape and moderately glossy. Those in the Collection are of two 

 types, in both of which the ground-colour is white, but the markings 

 are different. Some eggs are delicately speckled with fine dots of a 

 pale rufous and lavender, chiefly in the form of an irregular and 

 thin zone round the broad end. Others are densely marked with 

 spots and blotches of chestnut-brown and lavender, especially at 

 the broad end, where the markings are disposed in the shape of a 

 dense cap or irregular zone. Examples measure from "61 to '69 in 

 length, and from -48 to '51 in breadth.
