 freckled all over with very pale brownish pink, which becomes of a

Eggs of the Malabar Whistling-Thrush are of much the same 

 character as those of M. temminclci, but they are on the average 

 more boldly marked. The ground-colour is greyish white or 

 pinkish white, speckled, spotted and blotched with pale brownish 

 pink and underlying lilac, the markings being, as a rule, distri- 

 buted all over the surface. In size they range from 1-14 to 1-45 

 in length, and from -98 to '98 in breadth.
