An egg believed to be that of Rothschild’s Manucode is of a long 
oval shape, slightly compressed towards the smaller end, and 
somewhat glossy. ‘The ground is white with a faint pinkish tinge, 
spotted profusely at the large end, very sparingly elsewhere, with 
chocolate-brown, purplish-brown and lilac-grey, the spots, especially 
those round the pole, extending longitudinally. It measures 1°55 
by °99. 
This egg agrees closely with the specimen procured in the Aru 
Islands by H, Kiihn and figured by Dr. Hartert.

round the pole. ‘They measure respectively: 1:25 by -97 and
