76*. EUPHONIA ELEGANTISSIMA (Bp.). 



Eggs of this bird, taken at Juquila in Oaxaca in May, are rounded 

 in shape, and of a creamy white with a few scattered spots and 

 blotches, principally at the larger end, of two shades of brown. 

 They measure '65 by '5 inch. They are the first authentic speci- 

 mens of the eggs of any Euphonia that I have seen.

This little black Finch agrees in the structure of the bill with 

 Oryzoborus crassirostris, and I have therefore referred it to that 

 genus. M. Boucard's example was collected at Suchapam in April 

 1 859. I have never seen it before, and cannot make it agree with any 

 described species.
