The eggs of the Crested Coot so closely resemble those of 

 F. atra that they require no separate description. The}' are, how- 

 ever, rather more richly coloured. They measure from 2'02 to 

 2-25 in length, and from 1"45 to 1-5 in breadth.

The eggs of the Pted-gartered Coot are of the same type as 

 those of F. atra, but they are larger, and the ground-colour is 

 much darker. The markings also, instead of being small, round, 

 and well-defined, are in many cases largo, of very irregular shape, 

 and blurred at the edges. Specimens measure from 2'1 to 2-45 in 

 length, and from 1-35 to 1"6 in breadth.
