It would seem as i£ no copy of the ' Proceedings of tlie 

 Zoological Society of London ' were in the (generally) ex- 

 cellent " Walden Library " attached to the Bird-room of the 

 British Museum, Under the characters of the Ehinochetidai 

 (p. 246) we find it recorded that the " nest, egg, and young " 

 are " unknown/^ On referring to the useful work above 

 spoken of it will be observed that the egg of the Kagu has 

 been figured in 1868 from a specimen laid in the Society's 

 Gardens (see P. Z. S. 1868, pi. xii. fig. 3). It resembles the 

 egg of Eurypyga, but is larger in size.
