Bds. Aust., Vol. ii., sp. 569, p. 330. }{\/ 1 S " The eggs of this species are among the most beautiful of any laid by our Australian birds. The curious labyrinthine markings which characterize them, however, are not altogether confined to the eggs of the Parra; as those of at least three of our species of Pomatostomus are beautifully veined and marbled in the most delicate manner." . . . "They vary in form, being quite oval'and pointed equally at both ends, to almost round, or pyriform as in s...ome of the Plovers. When of this last shape, they are usually placed in the nest with their small ends pointing inwards. In length they are from 13"5 lines to 14 '5 lines, and in breadth from 10 to 11 lines. The grdund colour is a light olive-yellow, becoming with time much darker. The whole surface is crossed and recrossed with irregularly curved and rather broad black lines, turning and twisting in every direction, and, in some examples, with shorter lines, making various ill-shapen letters or figures, while in others these markings take the form of blotches.
