Three eggs of the Papuan Rifle-Bird are of a regular oval shape, 

 somewhat pointed towards the smaller eud, and moderately glossy. 

 The ground is pale buff or creamy-white, longitudinally streaked 

 all over the shell with burnt-sienna, tawny brown and dark lilac- 

 grey, but the markings are much more numerous about fche larger 

 end, round which they form a densely streaked band, the pole 

 being often, however, nearly devoid of markings. They measure 

 respectively 1-38 by -95; 1'35 by -93; and 1-26 by -93.
