" Mr. Geo. Masters obtained an egg of this species at Gayndah, 

 Qtteensland, on the 25th of November 1870. Having shot at a 

 female and broken her wing, while pursuing her on the ground the 

 egg was dropped. It is a pointed oval in form, of a dull white 

 minutely spotted with light brown, together with a few faint 

 blotches here and there of purplish-brown, the smaller end being 

 entirely devoid of markings. Whether this is the normal colour 

 of the egg is yet to be proved, as the egg being dropped by the bird 

 when wounded and the markings very faint, it is probable that it 

 may not have been quite ready for laying. Lpng diameter 1-4 

 inch, short diameter 1 '05 inch. A photograph of this egg sent 

 by Dr. Geo. Bennett, P.Z.S., of Sydney, was exhibited at the June 

 meeting of the Zoological Society of London, 1873, see P.Z.S., p. 

 519." {P.L:S., JS-.S-W., Vol. ii., 2nd Series, p. 554.)
