Other nests are made of coarse i'rasses and sedLres, and all are usually lined in a similar manner. Auduliou and Wilson descrilte the ej^'i^s of this hird as Idue, with i)urplish spots at the larj,'er end. All that I have ever seen are white, with a sli;L,dit tiui^e of ij^reenisli or hlue, and uns])otted. I have never Ix^en able to meet with a s]>otted ei;'' of this l)ird, the identification of which was hevond sus])ici(>n. They are of a roumled-oval sliape, one side is only a little more pointed than the other. They measure .73 of inch in lenjj;th by .58 in breadth. They resemlde the e;^'gs of C. lUinnuf, but are smaller, and are not so deeply tinged with blue. Cyanospiza amcena, r>Aina LAZTTLI FINCH. Embcri'za aimrnii. Say, Long's Kxpf*!. II, 1823, 47.
