Eggs of a peculiar type are laid by a duck belonging to a Levin resident. They are of a dark slate colour and of a different shape from ordinary duck-eggs, having a more rotund outline, in other words being shorter and thicker. The owner says that they are quite good to. eat, and that they contain a yolk that almost fills them, leaving very little room Jfor white. The bird, which lays one of these dark-shelled eggs nearly every day, Is a cross-bred of unknown ancestry.
