The eggs of the Winter Wren in the Collection resemble, as stated 

 by Nehrkorn, those of Gistothorus platensis, and are quite unlike 

 our other eggs of the genus Anorthura. They are of a regular oval 

 form, thickly speckled on a pinkish-white ground with bright reddish 

 and dull purplish brown, chiefly towards the larger end. They are 

 from -66 to -7 by from -46 to -51. .

The eggs of the Kashmir Wren resemble those of A. troglodytes, 

 and are of either an ordinary or broad short oval form. Sometimes 

 they are plain white ; but for the most part they are white, deli-
