The eggs of the Argentine Cow-bird are of an extremely short, 

 broad oval form, many specimens being spheroidal, and they possess 

 a considerable amount of gloss. They are very variable in colour. 

 Many are plain white ; others are white marked with specks of grey 

 or faint lavender ; others are white or cream-colour, densely 

 spei-kled with chestnut and lavender ; and others again are not 

 only speckled as in these last, but are also heavily blotched, 

 especially at the broad end, with deep chestnut-red and purplish- 

 grey. They measure from -8 to 1 in length, and from -7 to -8 in 

 breadth.
