Six eggs of the Madagascar "White-eye measure from "OS to -69 

 in length, and from •49 to -5 in breadth. 



The six eggs in the Crowley Collection, purchased from Jamrach 

 and said to have come from Madagascar, have been referred to 

 the present bird. They appear, however, to belong to a different 

 species, for they measure from •71 to •7'5 in length, and from "54 

 to -oo in breadth. Nehrkorn gives the measurements as '64 x "o 

 (16 X 12^5 mm.).
