and few in number ; the lines vary in thickness from that of the 

 finest hair to that of an ordinary pin and are distributed in a very 

 irrefjular manner over the whole shell, but they are more numerous 

 and more tangled at the broad end of the egg than elsewhere. The 

 shell-markings, which are sometimes very prominent, are pearly- 

 grey in colour and in some specimens consist of clouds and smears, 

 causing a marbled a])pearance, and in others of specks and fine lines 

 only. The eggs measure from -8 to "Oo in length, and from -6 to 

 •08 in breadth. 



Some curious abnormally shaped eggs of this species were 

 received in the Crowley Bequest.
