Three eggs of the Papuan Rifle-Bird are of a regular oval shape, 
somewhat pointed towards the smaller end, and moderately glossy. 
The ground is pale buff or creamy-white, longitudinally streaked 
all over the shell with burnt-sienna, tawny brown and dark lilac- 
grey, but the markings are much more numerous about the larger 
end, round which they form a densely streaked band, the pole 
being often, however, nearly devoid of markings. They measure 
respectively 1°38 by -95; 1°35 by -93; and 1:26 by °98.
