Three eggs of the Papuan Rifte-Bird are of a regular oval shape, 

 somewhat pointed towards the smaller eud, and moderately glossy. 

 The ground is pale buff or creamy-white, longitudinall}' streaked 

 all over the shell with burnt-sienna, tawny brown and dark lilac- 

 grey, but the markings are much more numerous about the larger 

 end, round which they form a densely streaked band, the pole 

 being often, however, nearly devoid of markings.' They measure 

 respectively IvSS by -95 ; 1-35 by -93 ; and 1-26 by -93.
