The eggs of the Australian Pratincole in the Collection are of 

 a pointed oval form and devoid of gloss. They are smaller than 

 the eggs of Galactochrysea ocularis, but otherwise resemble them so 

 very closely as to require no separate description. They measure 

 respectively : 1-29 by -95; 1-3 by '9.
