Eggs of the Green Magpie are of a broad oval shape and distinctly 

 glossy. The ground is white or yellowish-white, uniformly freckled 

 all over the shell with yellowish- or reddish-brown and lavender. 

 In some specimens the markings are so small and numerous all over 

 the shell that they almost entirely hide the ground-colour, but in 

 the majority they are densest at the broader end, where they form a 

 cap or zone. They measure from I'll to 1-24 in length, and from 

 •9 to -91 in breadth.
