Unmarked Eggs of the Red-Shoul- 
dered Hawk. 
On April 18, 1891, 1 took a set of Red- 
shouldered Hawk’s (Buteo lineatus) eggs that 
contained an almost entirely unmarked speci- 
men. As it lays in the cabinet no marks 
j whatever can be discerned upon it, but by 
holding it close to the eye there are a few 
faint scratches of chestnut no larger than the 
point of a pin, and none, exceed a sixteenth of 
an inch in length. It is as near an unmarked 
specimen as could be made without being 
entirely so. 
One of the other eggs has a white ground 
color, and is evenly spotted over the entire 
surface with bright specks of umber and is a 
beautiful egg, while the other lias a ground 
color of dirty gray, with three larger blotches 
j on the small end, and small specks of chest- 
nut over the rest of the surface, and they 
I measure as follows: 2.03x1.69; 2.08x1.69; 
2.08x1.08. 
This is the first specimen that I have col- 
| lected with as few marks on it, and think it 
quite a freak. 
[Unmarked eggs of the Red-shouldered 
Hawk are not uncommon, but they are not 
as commonly found as those occur] ing in sets 
of the Red-tailed Hawk. — J. P. JV.]
