A second set of three badly incubated eggs, taken on the same 
date, are similar in color and markings, and measure 28.3x20; 30.8 
X 20 and 29 X ig.8. 
In a set of four fresh eggs, taken May 4th, there are many large 
irregular spots in the markings which are clustered on the larger end. 
These eggs measure 28.2 x 19.5 ; 27.5 x 20; 27.7 x 19 and 27.1 x 19.7 mm. 
In the same tree with the nest containing the last set of eggs 
above described, were nests of Icterus, Myiocetctcs and Legatus, and it 
was the rule rather than the exception to find nests of the present species 
and those of Icterus .vauthornus not far from one another in the same 
tree.
