An egg of the Lesser Superb Bird-of-Paradise is of a regular 
oval shape, somewhat compressed at the smaller end, and dis- 
tinctly glossy. The ground is pale brownish-cream-colour, thickly 
and finely spotted and dotted all over the shell with pale yellowish- 
brown and heavily marked round the broader end with longitudinal 
streaks of vandyke-brown and dark llac-grey, the latter being more 
or less confluent. It measures 1:24 by ‘85. 
Two eggs figured and described by Dr. Hartert agree in size and 
general appearance with the above ; but the longitudinal markings 
are distributed all over the shell. One has the ground-colour 
brownish-buff and the brownish-grey and pale brown markings 
rather faint; the other has the ground cream-colour, and the 
reddish-brown and bluish-grey markings much stronger,
