Three distinct types of egg are exhibited in the series sent 

 by Mr. Forbes. Three, got with the male bird quoted above, 

 are of an ashy-white ground-colour, thickly laid with dots 

 and marblings of ochreous brown, over Avhicli, again, are spread 

 some distinct spots and small blotches of black. Axis "95 in., 

 diam. '75 in. The black spots are not very large, but are 

 well distinguished. 



Two eggs, procured on the 30th of April, are very similar 

 in colour, but are remarkable for the bold relief of the black 

 spots, which give the egg a much prettier appearance. 



Two more, taken on the 29th of April, are much more 

 uniform ochraceous, the black overlying spots, though pre- 

 sent, being scarcely perceptible. 



Three eggs, procured on the 13th of May, are really beau- 

 tiful. They are more of a ruddy ochre, marbled with clear 

 brown, while the black spots arc large and thickly distributed, 

 producing a richly mottled appearance.
