 Gould, Handhk. Bds. Aust., Vol. ii., sp. 662, p. 506. 



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 newly 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.
