Mr. BuyVARD also exliibited some interesting varieties o£ 

 eggs of the Lesser Wliitethroat and Goldcrest, which he 

 described as follows : — 



MoTAciLLA cuRRUCA : a clutch of five from Banham, 

 Norfolk, taken by Mr. L. W. Leader on June 25, 1909, who 

 flushed the bird from the nest. 



Description. Ground-colour pinkish white, surface-pigment 

 rufous, underlying markings lead-grey, markings evenly 

 distributed. These eggs do not bear any of tlie charac- 

 teristics of the type-eggs, but resemble the erythristic form 

 of the Common Wliitethroat {Sylvia communis) but are 

 smaller. 



I believe this to be tlie first record o£ erythrism occurring 

 in the eggs of this species. 



Regulus regulus : a clutch of nine eggs from Harfham, 

 Norfolk, taken by Mr. L. W. Leader. 



Description. Ground-colour pure white, surface-pigment 

 dark reddish brown, the markings being mostly confined to 

 the large ends in the form of minute specks. 



I have not seen, or heard of this variety having previously 

 occurred.
