 shape and moderately glossy, l^ive are pure white, spotted and 

 blotched, especially at the broad end where the markings form an 

 irregular zone, with hair-brown or pale yellowish-brown, and pale 

 underlying lavender. Three examples are greenish- white more or 

 less freckled with olive-brown and lilac, and resemble the common 

 type of egg laid by Calandrella hraehydactyla. Eight examples 

 measure from -73 to -8 in length, and from -So to -59 in breadth.
