eggs varied very considerably in size and in colour, the largest 

 being *7 x "52, and the smallest -6 x •46. The latter was excepr 

 tional, the average size being about -67 x •49. The ground colour 

 was sometimes distinct!}^ greenish, sometimes white with no tinge 

 of green and the amount of sprinkling also varied very consider- 

 ably. These variations were so great that I am still in doubt 

 whether some of mj nests are not those of another species.
