In 1695 the Italian anatomist and physician Lorenzo Bellini published an account of the ‘airways’ in birds’ eggs. Bellini suggested that these structures — that appear as dark channels running between the inner surface of the eggshell and the shell membranes, from the pointed to the blunt end of the egg — were connected to the eggshell pores and transported air from one end of the egg to the other.

Abstract
In 1695 the Italian anatomist and physician Lorenzo Bellini published an account of the ‘airways’ in birds’ eggs. Bellini suggested that these structures — that appear as dark channels running between the inner surface of the eggshell and the shell membranes, from the pointed to the blunt end of the egg — were connected to the eggshell pores and transported air from one end of the egg to the other.
