4 eggs (2 clutches). 11. VII. 1907. 
These eggs are labelled as Pl. leucorodia, L., but I think they belongs 
to this species. The eggs are generally much smaller than those of PI. leu¬ 
corodia, L. from Hungary, but similarly coloured, and have a pointed oval 
shape. They measure from 57 to 64 mm in length, and from 41 to 45% mm 
in breadth.
