from those of A. obscurus, but there appear to be some types which 

 do not occur among the eggs of that species. Examples from 

 Uruguay are greyish-white, speckled with pale yellowish-brown 

 and lavender ; while those from the Argentine Republic are cream- 

 colour, speckled and blotched with brown and lavender, quite 

 half of the ground-colour remaining visible. Specimens measure 

 from -76 to '95 in length, and from *58 to *69 in breadth.

The eggs of the Petchora Pipit are of a narrow pointed oval 

 shape and but very slightly glossy. The clutches in the Collection 

 vary considerably. The eggs of two clutches are cream-colour, 

 profusely mottled with brown, to such an extent that in some 

 specimens hardly any portion of the ground-colour is visible. The 

 markings form a confluent cap at the broad end. The eggs of a 

 third clutch are pale greyish- or purplish-white, very evenly 

 blotched all over with purplish-brown and lavender. Specimens 

 measure from '8 to '9 in length, and from '57 to '6 in breadth.
