Two eggs of the Black-headed Honey-eater are of a regular oval 
form and devoid of gloss ; they have the ground-colour pale pinkish- 
white, and the markings, which are mostly concentrated round the 
larger end so as to form a cap, take the form of rather faint purplish- 
red blotches, more or less confluent towards the larger end. They 
measure respectively 1-22 by °81 and 1:07 by °79.

A damaged egg of Bates’ Honey-eater appears to have been of 
a regular oval form and very slightly glossed. It has the ground- 
colour salmon-buff, becoming rather more intense towards the larger 
end, where it forms a zone, which is also indistinctly marked with 
spots of faint purplish-red. It measures 1°22 by -86.
