Abstract:

The character of variability of egg-length and egg-width of Turdus philomelos Br., T. merula L., Sturnus vulgaris L., Fringilla coelebs L., Coccothraustes coccothraustes (L.) and Garrulus glandarius (L.) was examined. The attention was given to the causes of irregular distribution of egg-length and to the lack of correlation between egg-length and egg-width.
