Eggs of the Brown-necked Raven resemble those of the C. corax, 
being clear greenish-blue, marked with different shades of brown 
and underlying lavender. One example is merely marked with a 
very few specks and small smears, while two others are rather 
densely mottled. The other specimens are intermediate in colora- 
tion. They measure from 1°7 to 1°86 in length, and from 1:2 to 
1:27 in breadth.
