THE GAME BIRDS OF INDIA, BURMA AND CEYLON. 433 



The only other egg I know of this Sand-Grouse is an oviduct egg, 

 in my collection which I owe to the generosity of Mr. Ohas. M, Inglis. 

 This egg is a pale grey, or pinkish grey stone-colour and the mark- 

 ings consist of small blotches of pale sepia disposed in a thin ring at 

 one extremity and scattered here and there over the rest of the egg. 

 The secondary markings are of very pale lavender and consist of 

 blotches, a good deal larger than the primary markings though still 

 fewer in number and confined entirely to the ring-marked half of 

 the egg. 



The surface of this egg is very smooth and decidedly glossy; 

 the shape is the usual ellipse and it measures 1-63" x 1-09" 

 (41-4 X 27-6 mm.)
