The eggs of the Crested Coot so closely resemble those of 

 F. atra that they require no separate description. They are, how- 

 ever, rather more richly coloured. They measure from 2-02 to 

 2-25 in length, and from 1'45 to 1"5 in breadth.

The eggs of the Red-gartered Coot are of the same type as 

 those of F. atra, but they are larger, and the ground-colour is 

 much darker. The markings also, instead of being small, round, 

 and well-defined, are in many cases large, of very irregular shape, 

 and blurred at the edges. Specimens measure from 2-1 to 2-45 in 

 length, and from 1'35 to 1'6 in breadth.
