The eggs of the Fulvous-fronted Honey-eater are of a regular 

 oval shape and slightly glossy. They are white, sparingly speckled 

 and spotted with pale chestnut and lilac-red. Occasionally specimens 

 appear to be spotted with deep purplish-brown and purplish-grey. 

 The markings are chiefly confined to the broad end. Gould savs 

 some of the eggs of this species are quite white, without a trace "of 

 spots, but no such specimens are now in his collection. Examples 

 measure from -78 to -9 in length, and from -6 to -63 in breadth,
