Numerous additional specimens agree well with one or other of 

 the two eggs already described, except that a single example has 

 the ground-colour greenish-white. Thirteen eggs measure from 

 1-32 to 1-42 in length, and from '97 to 1-08 in breadth.

The egg of the Wry-billed Plover from the Harting Collection, 

 already described by me and previously described and figured by 

 Mr. Harting in the P. Z. S. (I. c.), has been incorrectly assigned to 

 this species. It agrees well with the eggs of Thinornis novce- 

 zealandice, of which there is now a large series in the Collection. 



Eggs of the Wry-billed Plover in the Crowley Bequest, taken by 

 the late Mr. Potts, are of quite a different character from the eggs 

 of the New-Zealand Plover, and agree well with the description of 

 them given by Sir Walter Buller (I. c.). They are pyriform, smooth 

 in texture, and devoid of gloss, of a pale greenish stone-colour, very 

 delicately stippled all over with minute dots of umber-brown and 

 lilac- or lavender-grey. Three examples measure respectively : 

 1-38 by 1-04; 1-38 by 1-03; 1-36 by 1-04.
