Abstract
DURING the year 1885 I was stationed at Trincomalee, when it was my luck to find a large crocodile's egg near Kantalay tank. On showing the specimen to several friends who knew more about natural history than I did, they expressed their astonishment at seeing a nard-shelled egg, as the concensus of opinion was that such eggs were invariably surrounded with a soft parchment-like covering.
