An egg believed to be that of Rothschild's Manucode is of a long 

 oval shape, slightly compressed towards the smaller end, and 

 somewhat glossy. The ground is white with a faint pinkish tinge, 

 spotted profusely at the large end, very sparingly elsewhere, with 

 chocolate-brown, purplish -brown and lilac-grey, the spots, especially 

 those round the pole, extending longitudinally. It measures 1'55 

 by -99. 



This egg agrees closely with the specimen procured in the Aru 

 Islands by H, Kiihn and figured by Dr. Hartert.

Two eggs of the Jobi Manucode are of a wide oval shape, 

 very slightly compressed towards the smaller end, and almost without 

 gloss. The ground is greyish-pink marked thickly round the broad 

 end and very sparingly elsewhere with several shades of red-brown 

 and lilac-grey, the latter markings being fused and forming a zone 

 round the pole. They measure respectively: 1'25 by '97 and 

 1-25 by 9-5.
