Eggs of the Yellow Warbler, or Summer Yellow-bird, are of a 

 pointed oval shape and moderately glossy. They are greenish- 

 white, spotted and blotched with two or more shades of brown and 

 light purple or slaty-grey. The markings are sparse on the smaller 

 half of the egg, but dense on the larger, where they often form a 

 cap or a broad irregular zone. On two specimens in the Collection 

 they are confined to a broad belt round the middle of the egg. 

 Examples measure from '62 to '71 in length, and from '48 to '52 

 in breadth.
