Eggs of the Yellow-throated Friar-bird vary from a pointed to a 
blunt oval shape and have some gloss. They are cream-colour: 
one type is very distinctly and finely spotted with reddish-brown 
or purplish-red and purplish-grey. The markings are everywhere 
dense, but more so at the broad endthan elsewhere. The other type 
is very different, having the whole surface of the shell blotched, 
clouded, and longitudinally streaked with light red and purplish- 
grey, and are indistinguishable from certain blotched eggs of 
Myzantha garrula. They measure from ‘95 to 1:02 in length, and 
from ‘7 to -78 in breadth.

Eggs of Cockerell’s Friar-bird are of a long, somewhat pointed oval 
form, and slightly glossy. The ground-colour is pinkish-white or 
pale pinkish-brick-colour, finely spotted and blotched all over with 
light red and violet-grey. In one example the blotches form a 
heavy cap of purplish-red round the larger end. ‘They much resemble 
eges of Tropidorhynchus subtuberosus, but are longer in shape. They 
measure respectively 1:35 by -92, 1:4 by ‘9, 1:45 by °9, and 1:48 
by °96.
