The eggs of the Broad-billed Sandpiper are pyriform and have a 

 considerable amount of gloss. They are pale buff, usually very 

 thickly mottled and streaked with rich chocolate-brown and pale 

 underlying grey. In the majority of the specimens in the Collection 

 the markings are everywhere so dense as to conceal the greater part 

 of the ground-colour; in others they are comparatively sparse. 

 The eggs measure from 1*18 to 1*37 in length, and from '87 to '94 

 in breadth.
