Four eggs of the Fan-tailed Itaveii resemble those of Corvus corax. 

 Those obtained at Luxor are smaller and measure respectively : 

 1*7 by 1"13, and 1-7 by 1-12. Those from Jericho are larger, 

 measuring 1-98 by 1-24, and 1-9 by 1-28. The two eggs recorded 

 by Mr. Dresser, and taken \>y Dr. Koenig at Jericho, appear to be 

 intermediate in size, varying from 1*69 to 1"81 in length, and from 

 1-16 to 1-26 in breadth.
