The eggs of the Crested Honey-Buzzard are as varied in colour 

 as those of P. apivorus, but they appear to be on the whole much 

 paler than the eggs of that species, only a small minority of the 

 specimens being at all richly coloured. One example, for instance, 

 is marked with dingy purple. Another is huffish brown, mottled 

 and clouded with yellowish brown. A third is dull yellow, mottled 

 with pale brown ; and a fourth is greenish white, freckled and 

 mottled all over with greyish brown. They measure from 1-85 to 

 2-1 in length, and from 1-62 to 1-75 in breadth.
