The eggs of the Indian Tawny Eagle vary in shape from broad 

 oval to spheroidal. The shell is fairly smooth, and many specimens 

 possess a small amount of gloss. The ground-colour is white, and 

 about half the number of specimens in the Collection are unmarked. 

 The others are more or less sparingly streaked, spotted, and blotched 

 with different shades of reddish and yellowish brown and under- 

 lying dull purplish grey. They measure from 2*35 to 2-9 in length, 

 and from 1*8 to 2-25 in breadth.
