Two eggs of the Black-chested Wren- Warbler from Potchef- 

 stroom are of a broad oval shape and glossy. The ground-colour is 

 pale bluish green, irregularly and somewhat sparingly blotched and 

 spotted all over with chocolate-brown, pale brown, and underlying 

 lavender markings. Two from Damara-land are similar, but the 

 blotches are fewer and much larger and bolder, and there is a zone 

 of scribbled lines round the larger end. They measure '58 to -65 

 in length, and -45 to *5 in breadth.
