Three e^gs of the Papuan Rifle-Bird are of a regular oval shape, 

 somewhat ])ointed towards the smaller end, and moderately gloss}'. 

 The ground is pale buff or creamy-white, longitudinallj' streaked 

 all over the shell with burnt-sienna, tawny brown and dark lilac- 

 grey, but the markings are much more numerous about the larger 

 end, round which they form a densely streaked band, the jiole 

 being often, however, nearly devoid of markings. They measure 

 respectively I'.SS by -95 ; 1'35 by -93; and 1-2G by -93.
