The two eggs of Swinhoe's Snipe in the Collection differ con- 

 siderably from each other. One is broadly pyriform and olive-buff, 

 blotched with umber-brown and dull purplish grey, the markings 

 forming an irregular cap at the broad end. The other is of a narrow, 

 pointed oval shape, of a pale greyish cream-colour, and blotched in 

 a similar manner to the egg already described. The two examples 

 measure respectively : 1"6 by 1-2; 1-65 by 1-2.
