Two eggs of the Chopi Boat-tail are of a somewhat pointed oval 

 shape and glossy. They are pure white, and measure respectively 

 1-2 by -83, and 1-15 by -82. 



Azara and Hudson say that the eggs of this species are pure 

 white ; and Dalgleish that they are pale blue, finely streaked with 

 hair-like markings and with a few spots of very dark purple, chiefly 

 round the larger end ; while JS"ehrkorn describes them as sky-blue 

 with deep black vermiform lines and hieroglyphics round the broad 

 end. They seem to vary like the eggs of Icterus cucullatus.
