The eggs of the African Hawk-Eagle taken by Mr. Hawker in 

 Somali-land are nearly elliptical in shape, rather coarse in texture, 

 and without gloss. One example is much stained, but appears to 

 have been plain white ; the second is also white, but marked with a 

 few spots and lines of yellowish brown on the smaller half. They 

 measure respectively : 2-41 by 1-9 ; 2-46 by 1-97.

 sparingly marked with rufous or pale yellow. Specimens measure 

 from 2 to 2'3 in length, and from 1-56 to 1-86 in breadth.
