Two eggs of the White-winged Grosbeak are much like those of 

 Perissospiza icteroides in general appearance. They are of a long 

 oval shape and somewhat glossy. The ground-colour is of a pale 

 warm grey, with boldly-marked knots, spots, and tangled lines of 

 rich dark brown and underlying cloudy markings of purplish- or 

 brownish-grey. In one specimen the markings are almost entirely 

 confined to the larger end, but in the specimen figured, though 

 more numerous round the larger end, they are also distributed 

 over the rest of the shell. They measure respectively 1'2 by 

 •78 and 1-17 by "77.
