graph of them in Plate VI. These are all of M. 

 g. silvestris. 



Of these, figures 20 and 21 are from the same 

 clutch, and doubtless laid by the same bird. 

 (Nos. 30014, 30014.) They were collected by 

 J. H. Riley at Falls Church, Va. Figure 20 is an 

 egg measuring 66 mm. x 45 mm., the color being 

 a pale buffy-brown, finely and nearly evenly 

 speckled all over with umber-brown, with very 

 minute specks to dots measuring a millimetre in 

 diameter. The finest speckling, with no larger 

 spots, is at the greater end (butt) for a third of 

 the egg. 



Figure 2 1 measures 63 mm. x 45 mm. , the ground 

 color being a pale cream, speckled somewhat 

 thickly and uniformly all over with fine specks of 

 light brown and lavender, with larger spots and 

 ocellated marks of lavender moderately abun- 

 dant over the middle and the apical thirds, with 

 none about the larger end or remaining third. 

 Figure 22 (Plate VI) is No. 31185 of the collection 

 of the U. S. National Museum (ex Ralph Coll.) ; it 

 was collected at Bridgeport, Michigan, by Allan 

 Herbert (376, 4700, '77) and measures 68 x 46.
