“3. Is it a male or a female ?—A female. 
“4, In the latter case, had it then fully-developed ovaries ? 
—When opening the bird, I found the ovaries almost fully 
developed. 
“5. Has only one person, or have several, observed the 
bird during the period of thirty years ?—Many persons have 
observed the bird during a period of thirty-four years. 
“6. Did it remain on, or near, Myggenaes during all these 
years, or did it, perhaps, roam among the islands ?—For 
aught I know, it has lived only on or near Myggenaes Holm 
during all this time. 
“7. Did it stay at Mygegenaes all the year round, or 
did it leave at certain seasons, returning again regularly 
at other times ?—It stayed at Myggenaes only from spring 
to autumn, coming and leaving regularly with the Gannets. 
“8. Is it ascertained if there was only the one specimen ? 
—It is supposed that there was but one bird of the kind, as 
only one has been seen at the same time. 
“9. This being the case, and supposing the bird to be a 
female, is it known whether it has been nesting or breeding ? 
—Nobody has seen it nesting or breeding, but it cannot 
be stated with any degree of certainty, as it always has 
lived among the Gannets, who are generally let alone from 
the beginning of the breeding season until the young are 
fledged. 
“10. Is it known what its food consisted of ?—No, it is 
absolutely unknown. 
“11. Did it show any inclination to follow vessels or 
boats ?—It showed no inclination to follow small boats; 
whether it ever followed vessels is unknown. 
“12. Was it usually silent, or has any one ever heard its 
cry? In the latter case, can the sound of it be expressed 
by letters or in any other way ?—It was silent, when 
observed ; its cry has never been heard. 
“13. Am I to understand that it both lived with the 
Gannets and was seen flying with them, or did it also seek 
the company of other birds? In this case, of which? Or 
did it, perhaps, seem to prefer being alone ?—It lived with 
the Gannets, and flew together with them.
