Nine eggs of the Eook-Sparrow are of a broad oval form and 

 slightly glossy. They are dull white or pale grey, densely streaked, 

 blotched, and marbled with umber-brown in some cases, and with 

 purplish-brown and lilac in others. In some specimens the markings 

 are very evenly distributed over the shell ; in others they are 

 extremely dense at the large end, where they form a cap, and 

 sparse elsewhere. Examples measure from -8 to '9^! in length, and 

 from -6 to '64 in breadth.
