black, which are frequently rufous at the edges and with underlying 

 lavender. The markings are well-defined and usually of a roundish 

 form, hut sometimes they are elongate and otherwise irregular. 

 They are more frecjuent at the broad end of the egg than elsewhere, 

 but they are seldom sufficiently numerous to form a cap or zone. 

 Some specimens in the Collection are very feebly marked. The 

 eggs measure from 1-07 to 1-35 in length, and from -78 to -9 in 

 breadth.
