The eggs of the Long-tailed African Dove are cream-coloured. 

 Two specimens, however, from Madagascar are pale bluish white, 

 of unusually large size and of a pointed oval shape. The authen- 

 ticity of these may be questioned They measure '91 by *64 and 

 95 by *65 respectively. The other examples in the Collection 

 measure '8 by *6. They have a moderate amount of gloss.
