Anfhipes leucops and A. poliogenrjs. Series showing the 

 interesting contrast between the two types of eggs laid by 

 the two groups o£ this genus. Those of A. leucojn have, I 

 believe, been taken by no one but myself. 



Aheonax. Of this genus are shown A. latirostris, the 

 Brown Flycatcher, now on the British list, A. imficaudus 

 and A. muttui. In colour and character they agree well 

 with the more unicoloured eggs of Cyornis. 



Niltava. The larger birds of this genus, N. grandis and 

 ]V. sundara, lay eggs like those of Stoparola, only differing in 

 size, whereas the small Niltava lays eggs of a much more 

 freely spotted character. 



Terpsiphone paradisi affinis. The Burmese Paradise 

 Flycatcher. The series shown of these beautiful eggs would 

 serve equally well for those of any of the other Paradise 

 Flycatchers. 



Hypothymis azurea j^rophata and FT. a. ti/tleri. Two series 

 of the first very common egg and the second very rare 

 one show how closely these eggs resemble in all but size 

 those of Terpsiphone. 



Rhipidura. The series shown are those of the species 

 javaniea and pectoralis, two of the less common forms ; the 

 eo-CTs are typical of the genus and are unlike most of 

 the other Flycatchers' eggs. 



Chelidorhynx hypoxanthum. These very rare eggs are 

 nearest the pink type of Cyornis, though the genus is nearest 

 to the genus Rhipidura. 



Mr. Percy F. Bjnyard exhibited the following eggs 

 from his collection : — 



GrREAT Grey Shrike [Lanius excuUtor). A series of five 

 typical clutches from Prussia and Norwegian Lapland. 



Pallid Shrike. L. e. eleyaiis. A clutch of five and four 

 from Kantara, Egypt, April 23 and June 11, li)18 

 (D. W. Musselwhite, ' Ibis,' vol. ii. No. 1, Jan. 1920, p. 313). 

 These do not differ from typical L. exmhitor eggs. 



Southern Great Grey Shrike [L. meridionalis). A
