The eggs of the Indian Jungle-Babbler vary greatly in shape, 

 many being of an ordinary oval form, others spheroidal, and others, 

 again, lengthened and cylindrical. They are excessively glossy and 

 of a deep blue colour. A few of the eggs are somewhat paler than 

 others, but the prevailing tint is a very deep blue. Eggs measure 

 from -88 to 1-15 in length, and from -75 to -82 in breadth.
