Six eggs of the Madagascar White-eye measure from '63 to '69 

 in length, and from '49 to '5 in breadth. 



The six eggs in the Crowley Collection, purchased from Jamrach 

 and said to have come from Madagascar, have been referred to 

 the present bird. They appear, however, to belong to a different 

 species, for they measure from *71 to '73 in length, and from '54 

 to *55 in breadth. Nehrkorn gives the measurements as '64 x '5 

 (16 x 12-5 mm.).
