The eggs of the White-breasted Crake bear a general resem- 

 blance to the eggs of A. akool, but they are much more richly 

 coloured. The ground varies from a pinkish cream-colour to a 

 warm pinkish buff. The markings, like those on the eggs of 

 A.akool, present a streaky appearance, but they are much broader 

 and coarser, and cover more of the ground. Numerous examples 

 measure from 1-4 to 17 in length, and from M to 1-99 ;„ breadth
