Excerpt from A Monograph of the Genus Casuarius
The eggs are about six to eight in number, with a strong and very coarsely granulated surface. When fresh they are evidently all of a light green colour, but when exposed to the light they become first more bluish, then greyish, and at last almost cream coloured. The male alone incubates.
Herr Schalow (journ. F. Cm. 1894) has attempted to make a key to distinguish the eggs of the various species; but his key is a total failure and misleading, being principally based on the colour, which is the same in all, and on the transparency of the shell, which is not specifically different.
