PLATE CIX. FIG. I. 
Some eggs of the Brent Goose were brought to this 
country by the officers of one of the arctic expeditions, 
one of which is now in the collection of Mr. Wilmot; 
another, in the collection of Mr. Wolley from Spitzbergen, 
agrees with it in size. 
The eggs of this species differ from those of the other 
geese in being slightly tinted with a faint brownish colour¬ 
ing, whilst they are all, when quite fresh, either pure white, 
or slightly tinted with cream-colour.
