The eggs of the Black-naped Oriole are of a narrow pointed oval 
form and have a considerable amount of gloss. They are of a pale- 
pinkish cream-colour, sparingly spotted and speckled with deep 
purplish-brown and pale lavender. Many of the larger spots are 
blurred at the edges and run into the surrounding ground-colour. 
The smaller spots are usually firm and well-defined. Five speci- 
mens measure from I'l to 1:2 in length, and from ‘78 to ‘9 in 
breadth.
