LORD HOWE ISLAND. 



SuLA CYANOPS, Sunchvall. 



The Masked Gannet was found breeding from September to December ; 

 little or no attempt is made at forming a nest, the eggs, two in number, 

 usually being deposited on the bare ground, when nearly laid, they are of a 

 pale greenish-white colour, which in most instances is covered with a thick 

 coating of lime ; after being sat upon for a few days, the eggs become soiled 

 and assume a dirty brown hue. In form they vary from short to long ovals. 



Length, (A) 2-47 inches x 1-84 inch. 

 (B) 2-62 „ X 1-78
