The eggs of the Magpie-Robin are very variable in size, shape, 

 and coloration. They are ordinarily of a regular oval form, some 

 being short and blunt, others elongated and narrow, some almost 

 globular. They have a considerable amount of gloss. The ground- 

 colour is of some pale shade of green or greenish blue, and this is 

 streaked, mottled, and blotched with different shades of reddish brown 

 and yellowish brown, and some underlying markings of pale purple. 

 In most cases the markings are dense all over the shell, but they 

 are always especially so at the larger end, where they form an 

 irregularly mottled cap. 



Eggs measure from *78 to *95 in length, and from '6 to '75 in 

 breadth.
