The eggs therefore may belong to one of these species, or to 

 an unknown one. 



36. Talbgallus fuscirostris, Salvad. 



The measurements of the egg of Talegullus fuscirostris are 

 still unpublished, so far as I know. The Dresden Museum has 

 a specimen from Aru (Ribbe and Kuhn) : length 97 mm., 

 breadth 60 mm. Vinaceous cinnamon (Ridgvvay, pi. iv. 

 no. 15). Elliptical oval. Judging from the colour, the 

 eggs from Constantine Harbour, described above, do not 

 belong to T. fuscirostris. 



37. Talegallus jobiensis, A. B. M. 



In the year 1874 I published the measurements of two 

 eggs of Talegallus jobiensis from Jobi (Sitz. Akad. Wien, 

 lxix. p. 88), viz. 88-93x60-62 mm. I then had no good 

 instrument at my disposal for the measuring of eggs, and 

 am obliged now to correct my statement. Length 95- 

 98 - 3 mm., breadth 60"4?-61"5 mm. Colour, and form similar to 

 the two eggs described above from Constantine Harbour, but 

 rather more reddish and more pointed, in structure smoother. 

 The measurements of the eggs of Talegallus cuvieri, Less., 

 Aepypodius arfakianus (Salv.), and Aep. bruijnii (Oust.), are 

 still unpublished, so far as I know. 



38. Ortygometra cinerea (V.).
