The egg of the White-browed Spine-bill in the Collection is in 
fragments. It appears to be of a very pale buff-colour, spotted 
and blotched at the broad end with chestnut and lavender. The 
measurements of two eggs recorded by Mr. Campbell are respec- 
tively: °78 by 52; °75 by °53.

The eggs of the Fulvous-fronted Honey-eater are of a regular 
oval shape and slightly glossy. They are white, sparingly speckled 
and spotted with pale chestnut and lilac-red. Occasionally specimens 
appear to be spotted with deep purplish-brown and purplish-grey. 
The markings are chiefly,confined to the broad end. Gould says 
some of the eggs of this species are quite white, without a trace of 
spots, but no such specimens are now in his collection. Examples 
measure from °78 to ‘9 in length, and from °6 to °63 in breadth.
