EGG OF THE SOCIABLE VULTURE. 
I wave much pleasure in giving this month a 
drawing of the egg of the Sociable Vulture, which I 
was unable to do in Part I., when the bird was figured. 
This egg is the produce of a bird now in the posses- 
sion of J. H. Gurney, Esq., M.P., of Catton Hall, 
Norfolk, who has with his usual kindness sent me a 
drawing of it, made by Mr. Reeve, of the Norwich 
Museum. ' 
This Vulture was formerly in the Surrey Zoological 
Gardens. ‘The bird possesses the usual fleshy folds on 
the neck. The egg is white, with rufous markings 
clustered round the thick end. ‘The longitudinal 
circumference is nine inches and a quarter, the 
transverse eight inches and one-eighth. It was laid 
February 15th., 1859. I must again repeat my thanks 
to Mr. Gurney, for this very interesting contribution 
to oology.
