This Petrel burrows in the sand, or adopts a hole 

 or hollow in a rock for its nest. 



The e^g is white — only one is laid. It is of large 

 proportionate size. 



I have to thank the Rev. H. B. Tristram for the loan 

 of the egg from which the plate is taken. It was had 

 by him from St. Kilda.
