“ This Wren, one of the latest species described by Mr. Gould 
is far from rare in the interior, my brother Mr. James Damsay 
having no difficulty in obtaining as many specimens as I required 
during one season, both of its nests and eggs with the birds shot 
therefrom. Although the eggs appear quite different from those 
of other species of the genus, still it is difficult to express these 
differences in a description. Eggs white or pinkish-white with 
minute dots and small spots of rich red sprinkled over the whole 
surface, in some forming zones, in others blotches. What I 
consider the more typical eggs of this species are those with a few 
dots of dark red sparingly sprinkled over the whole surface of the 
shell, closer together on the thicker end, but seldom forming a 
distinct zone ; all more or less pointed ; (A) 0’G7 x 0'48 inch ; 
(B) 0-G7 x 0-48 inch; (C) 0-GG x 0-48 inch.” J. R., Dobr. Mus.
