The eggs of the Yellow-throated Miner are of a more or less 

 pointed oval form and somewhat glossy. The ground-colour varies 

 from pale pinkish- or buffy- white to pale brick-colour, and the 

 markings, which consist of numerous spots and small blotches of 

 purplish-brown, reddish-brown, and lavender, vary considerably in 

 both tint and number in different examples. In all, they are most 

 numerous round the. larger end, but in some examples they are 

 thickly scattered over the whole surface of the shell. They measure 

 from 1-1 to 1-15 in length, and from -71 to -75 in breadth.

 and devoid of gloss. The ground-colour is of a rich salmon-pink 

 colour, rather profusely mottled and streaked with reddish-brown 

 and lilac-grey, the markings being very evenly distributed over the 

 entire surface of the shell. They measure respectively : 1-10 by -7 ;
