Eggs of the Horned Lark are of a pointed oval shape and are 

 distinctly glossy. They are greenish- white, profusely freckled all 

 over with greenish-grey or pale olive-brown, with traces of pale 

 lavender underlying the other markings. Some specimens exhibit 

 a few black specks and fine lines on the broad end. The markings 

 are often very dense at this end, and form a well-defined confluent 

 zone. Specimens measure from -86 to '98 in length, and from '6 

 to -68 in breadth.

 those of the typical North-American form, 0. alpestris, both in
