 6 THE CONDOR Vol. XIX All eggs are narrowly elliptical in form, one end being slightly smaller. The two photos of nests clearly show the form. I believe the usual complement of eggs is four, while I think three is not unusual. I have never seen any sets of five, but set no. 3 contained six eggs. As far as I have been able to learn this set of six is the largest of which there is any record. The following tables show the dimensions of eggs, in millimeters. Set No. 1 21.1x13.9 20.6x14.2 21.1x13.9 20.6x14.2 Aver. 20.8x14.1 Fig. 3. AR0W POINTS TO HORIZONTAL CRACK FROM WHICH SET NO. 5 WAS TAKEN ATER RE- IOVAL OF A ROCK EIGHING AT LEAST 35 TONS.
