Two eggs of the New Caledonian Crow are much like those of 
Trypanocorax frugilegus in shape, colour, and markings. ‘They are 
fairly glossy and the ground is pale greenish-blue, spotted and 
blotched all over with two shades of umber-brown and underlying 
lavender. They measure 1°51 by 1:04, and 1:57 by 1:07.

Two eggs, believed to be those of the Great-billed Crow, are 
much like some eggs of Trypanocorax frugilegus. They are of a 
long pointed oval shape, almost pyriform, and without gloss. The 
ground is pale greenish-white, heavily spotted at the broad end 
and sparingly elsewhere with darker and lighter umber-brown and 
underlying lavender-grey. They measure respectively: 1°81 by 
1°25, and 1°75 by 1°28. 
These eggs, purchased at Stevens’s Sale Rooms in 1862, were 
sold as being those of MWanucodia atra, which they certainly are not.
