Eggs of the Southern Grosbeak- Weaver are of an ordinary or 

 rather long oval shape and without gloss. The ground varies from 

 white to creamy-white or pinkish-white. Some eggs are rather 

 heavily marked all over the shell with spots and dots of pinkish- 

 brown or maroon and lilac-grey ; in others the markings take the 

 form of minute dots, which become rather dense towards the larger 

 end where they form a sort of cap. Some again have but few 

 markings, and these are almost entirely confined to the larger end, 

 while others are sparingly marked with small reddish-brown spots 

 scattered over the entire shell. They measure from '82 to -86 in 

 length, and from -61 to '65 in breadth.
