eggs no longer need colour may be supposed to have lost it, viz., such as 
breed iu holes (or where that is the general custom of the family), and 
such as are covered by the parent on leaving them, or are naturally 
covered by incrustations. For we find that the more eggs are sheltered, 
the less is the colouration.
