1815 W. Kirby & W. Spence Introd. Entomol. I. iv. 93 (note) It is to be hoped this new word [sc. oviposit] may be admitted; as the laying of eggs cannot otherwise be expressed without a periphrasis. For the same reason its substantive oviposition will be employed.

1888 Amer. Naturalist 22 657 On the first day oviposition, segmentation, and the formation of the blastula takes place.

1931 Jrnl. Morphol. & Physiol. 51 22 The females [of Orthoptera] usually abandon them [sc. the eggs] as soon as oviposition is complete.

1965 J. Lee & F. Knowles Animal Hormones ii. 28 There is evidence that LTH is important for oviposition in some of the fishes.

1989 Brit. Poultry Sci. 30 873 The mean interval between successive ovipositions remained largely unchanged in all groups.
