Mr. P. E. Bun YARD exhibited eggs of the following 

 species : — 



Song-Thrush. [Turdus musicus.) Two clutches of four 

 eggs laid by the same bird^, taken in Sussex on the 4th 

 and 16th of May, 1911. The eggs were pure white, with 

 surface-markings of rich reddish-brown, and shell-marks of 

 purplish-brown. Two similar clutches, apparently laid by 

 the same bird, had been found in 1910. 



Yellow Bunting. {Emberiza citrinella,} (1) A clutch 

 of five eggs from Germany, of the red variety, were sparingly 

 scrolled with dark reddish-brown, the surface-markings and 

 shell-markings forming cloudings of rich pale reddish-brown, 

 almost concealing the ground-colour. (2) A clutch of four 

 from Yorkshire, with pale greenish ground-colour, and 

 almost without markings. (3) A clutch of four from near 

 Berlin, with beautifully clouded surface- and shell- markings, 

 with the scrolling almost absent. 



Eastern Pied Wheatear. ' (Saxicola pleschanka.) A 

 clutch of five eggs from Turkestan. These apparently do 

 not differ from the eggs of the Black-eared Wheatear 

 {S. stapazina) or those of the Black-throated Wheatear 

 (^S. occidentalis). 



Stone-Curlew. {(Edicnemus cedicnemus.) (1) A clutch 

 of two from Suffolk, with greenish ground-colour and 

 normal surface-markings. (2) A clutch of two from 

 Cambridgeshire, very finely marbled all over with surface- 

 and shell-markings of pale umber-brown, and resembling one 

 type of the Cream-coloured Courser [Cursorius gallicus). 



Jackdaw. {Corvus monedula.) (1) A clutch of six eggs 

 from Norfolk : ground-colour pale greenish-blue, surface- 

 marks very large and bold. (2) A clutch of four, similar to 

 the latter, but very sparingly marked with very large shell- 

 and surface-marks. (3) A clutch of three, resembling eggs 

 of the Nutcracker [Nucifraga caryocatactes). 



Herring-Gull. [Larus argentatus.) Three clutches of
