The eggs of Cabanis's Sugar-bird are of a regular oval form and 

 rather glossy. The ground-colour is white marked all over, 

 but especially towards the larger end, with specks and spots of 

 chocolate, reddish-brown and lavender. They measure from '63 to 

 65 in length, and from '5 to '51 in breadth.
