Genus GYPS, Savigny. 



The eggs of the Griffon Vultures are so much of the same type 

 that it is not necessary to describe those of each species separately. 



The majority are of an elliptical shape, others are broad ovals. 

 The shell is minutely granulated and pitted and is almost devoid of 

 gloss. 



Normally they are plain white or yellowish white, but in every 

 large series a few specimens may be found marked with pale rufous 

 or yellowish-brown spots and small blotches at one end or, more 

 rarely, over the whole shell.
