The eggs of Jameson's Snipe resemble those of G. pusilla more 

 closely than the eggs of any other species of Snipe represented in 

 the Collection, but they are very much larger. They are of a 

 pointed oval form and exhibit a slight trace of gloss. The ground- 

 colour is pale buff, and the whole surface of the egg is sprinkled 

 with spots and small blotches of dark purplish brown and under- 

 lying lavender. The markings become dense at the broad end, and 

 in one specimen form a small but very well-defined cap at that 

 part. Two examples measure respectively: 2-02 by 1-34; 1-99 

 by 1-32.
