The eggs of the Dusky, or Spotted, lledshank are pyriform and 

 rather glossy. The ground-colour in the majority of the eggs in the 

 Collection is dull green ; in some, olive-buff; and in others, stone- 

 colour. The markings are bold, and consist of spots, blotches, and 

 smears of rich brown and chocolate-brown, with underlying inky- 

 purple. On some specimens the blotches become confluent over the 

 broader half and nearly hide the ground-colour ; on others, the 

 markings are more evenly distributed over the shell. A few speci- 

 mens are marked Avith some blackish hair-lines at the larger end. 

 The eggs measure from 1-75 to 1'95 in length, and from 1-25 to 1-35 

 in breadth.
