An egg of the Chestnut-bellied Rock-Thrush in the Collection is 

 of a very regular oval shape and moderately glossy. It is of a pale 

 creamy-buff colour, freckled all over with very faint brownish pink. 

 It measures 1*05 by "79. It appears, from what Mr. La Touche 

 ■writes {I. c), that this egg was addled, and it may therefore be 

 somewhat discoloured and not of a typical character.
