Two eggs of the Spiny-cheeked Honey-eater are of a rather long 

 pointed oval shape and are very slightly glossed. The ground-colour 

 is whitish-buff, most intense towards the larger eud, and the markings, 

 which are mostly confined to the larger end, consist of a limited 

 number of spots and small blotches of dark brown and lilac-groy. 

 They measure respectively 1*1 by '67 and 1-05 by •?.

Two eggs of the Fergusson-Island Wattled Honey-eater are of a 

 rather broad and somewhat pointed oval form, and are almost devoid 

 of gloss. One has the ground-colour pinkish-white finely speckled 

 all over with purplish-red and lilac-grey, and with large blotches of 

 the same colour distributed over the greater part of the shell, but 

 most numerous towards the larger end. The second egg has the 

 ground-colour pale brick-red, and is much more sparingly and less 

 strongly marked with small spots and rather large blotches of light 

 red and lavender-grey. The eggs measure respectively 1-3 by -96 

 and 1-33 by -91.
