Eggs of the Black-browed Tree-Pie are of an oval shape and 

 verj- slightly glossj-. They are very Shrike-like in ap])earance. 

 The ground is cream-colour, sometimes tinged with greenish, and 

 spotted and blotched with yellowish- or reddish-umber-brown and 

 lilac-grey, the markings being mostly concentrated in a heavy ring 

 or cap round the larger end. Six eggs vary in length from 1-OG to 

 1"16, and in breadth from "78 to 'SG. 



Mr. Stuart Baker says that eggs of this species can nearly all bo 

 matched with eggs of D. riifa or D. hinialaijcHsis, but are on the 

 whole more richly marked.
