Numerous additional specimens agree well with one or other of 

 the two eggs already described, e.xeopt that a single example has 

 the ground-colour greenish-white. Thirteen eggs measure from 

 1-32 to 1*42 in length, and from '97 to 1-08 in hreadth.

The egg of the Wry-billed Plover from the Harting Collection, 

 already described by me and previously described and figured by 

 Mr. Harting in the P. Z. S. {I. c), has been incorrectly assigned to 

 this species. It agrees well with the eggs of Thinornis -novce- 

 zealandice, of which there is now a large series in the Collection. 



Eggs of the Wry-bUled Plover in the Crowley Beqiiest, taken by 

 the late Mr. Potts, are of quite a different character from the eggs 

 of the New-Zealand Plover, and agree well with the description of 

 them given by Sir Walter Buller (I. c). They are pyriform, smooth 

 in texture, and devoid of gloss, of a pale greenish stone-colour, very 

 delicately stippled all over with minute dots of uraber-brown and 

 lilac- or lavender-grey. Three examples measure respectively : 

 1-38 by 1-04; 1-38 by 1-03; 1-36 by 104.
