The egg of the Brown Tinamou in the Collection is of a somewhat 

 lengthened oval form, and thus differs from the eggs of the other 

 species of this genus. It is of a pinkish stone-colour, and measures 

 2 by 1-37.

The eggs of Cabanis's Bare-throated Francolin in the Collection 

 are of a broad, pointed oval shape, slightly rough to the touch, and 

 with a small amount of gloss. They are of a light reddish-buff 

 colour, and they are sprinkled all over with whitish streaks, 

 apparently caused by the disintegration of the shell. Four 

 examples measure respectively : 1*66 by 1*3; T65 by 1'3 ; 1-64 by 

 1-35 ; 1-63 by 1-31.
