The eggs of Eonelli's Eagle are of a very regular oval form, smooth, 

 and showing but little gloss. They are faint bluish white, often 

 plain; at other times marked with spots, blotches, and smears of 

 brownish pink, yellowish brown, and underlying pale inky purple. 

 The markings on some eggs are sparse, on others dense, but they 

 are generally pale, and few eggs can be termed richly-coloured. 

 They measure from 2*5 to 3-08 in length, and from 1*95 to 2-28 in 

 breadth.
