 eggs of (Enanthe cenanthe ; in the series there is one clutch 

 of very large eggs with a single egg of Great Tit. Tits' 

 eggs have several times been found in the nests of the Pied 

 Flycatcher. 



White-collaked Flycatchek (Muscicapa collaris). A 

 clutch of six from Mahren, 12. 5. 15, these do not differ 

 from M. atricapilla eggs either in size, shape, or colour. 



Red-breasted Flycatcher (^Muscicapa parva). Two 

 typical clutches of five from Brandenburg, these are dis- 

 tinctive and could not be easily confused with eggs of 

 M. grisola ; the very fine pale mottlings, almost completely 

 concealing the ground-colour, are characteristic.
