Six eggs of the Madagascar White-eye measure from '63 to •69 

 in length, and from -49 to •S in breadth. 



The six eggs in the Crowley Collection, purchased from Jamraoh 

 and said to have come from Madagascar, have been referred to 

 the present bird. They appear, however, to belong to a different 

 species, for they measure from ^71 to •76 in length, and from "54 

 to '55 in breadth. Nehrkorn gives the measurements as ^64 x "o 

 (16 X 12-5 mm.)._
