Abstract
Synopsis Egg shells from a particular bird gave very high values for strength at the broad pole when tested by an impact method. Suitably prepared radial and tangential sections of these egg shells have been examined by polarised light and by histological staining techniques. It was shown that these shells contained flaws which consisted of abnormal crystals embedded in the normal crystalline structure. The flaws contained abnormal organic material.
