Lord Lilford. 
These are out of four monsters sent me by my good friend, who wrote that 
they were taken by one of his gamekeepers from a nest out of which ten young 
birds were hatched and ran a few days before. I returned to him two of the 
four—one flask-shaped and having the attenuated end (which, by the way, 
seems to be what should have been the bigger one) wholly calcified, which 
it is not in the specimen I have kept, and the other a plain dwarf, but rather 
larger than the first, which measures but ‘91 by *75 inch. |

Dr. Dybowski’s notes on the breeding of this bird, communicated by Dr. 
Taczanowski, are printed in the ‘ Journal fiir Ornithologie’ for 1873 (p. 99), and 
further remarks on its eggs by the last-named naturalist, through whom its 
specific validity came to be recognized, will be found in his posthumously- 
published book (Faun. Orn. de la Sibérie Orient, ii. p. 778).]
