The eggs of the Larger Spotted Eagle, although somewhat larger, 

 as a rule, than those of the Lesser Spotted Eagle {A. ijomerana), 

 are quite inseparable from them. Many European eggs of this 

 species are very richly coloured. The four Indian eggs in the series, 

 and also some European examples, are pale, being marked with 

 light rufous and purplish grey. A number of specimens measure 

 from 2*45 to 2*7 in length, and from r9-5 to 2-15 in breadth.
