Mr. Blaauw exhibited eggs of a Weka Rail {Ocydromus 

 australis), laid in his park at Gooilust, which bore a curious 

 similarity to the eggs of Aramides ypecaha laid under exactly 

 the same circumstances. Only a small difference in the 

 shape distinguished the eggs of these two Rails from 

 such distant parts of the world as New Zealand and South 

 America.
