four years. 
“Furthermore, I wish to tell you that in September 1891 
a curious young Gannet was caught; it was of a lighter grey 
than the young Gannets, and had a bill like that of the 
Albatross—its wings resembled those of the Gannets. The

saw it and heard people speaking of it. Since that time he 
has seen it every year. It migrated with the Gannets 
regularly every autumn, returning with them in the spring. 
“More than this one specimen has never been seen. 
“Tt has never been seen nesting or breeding.
