There is considerable difference in the size of the eggs of the 

 Chinese series of the Eastern Blue Kock-Thrush in the Collection. 

 In colour the eggs vary but little, being of the same delicate pale 

 blue tint as those of their western congeners, in some cases sparingly 

 dotted with rufous-brown at the larger end. In size they range 

 from 0-9 to 1-27 in length, and from 0-75 to 0-85 in breadth.

Eggs of the Blue-headed Eoek-Thrush vary from a regular to a 

 narrow oval shape and possess a considerable amount of gloss. 

 They are cream-coloured, speckled and mottled, more densely at the 

 broad end as a rule, with pale brownish pink or pale chestnut, some- 

 what resembling large pale eggs of Erithacus ruhecula. They 

 measure from -9 to -97 in length, and from -67 to -71 in breadth.
