His work on the gannetry on the Bass Rock formed the basis of much of the knowledge of the gannet's ecology, breeding cycle and behaviour. This work is a distillation of the studies and researches on Sula bassana in Europe and North America, with frequent reference to the African and Australasian gannets. There is also a chapter on the boobies, all of which have been studied first hand by the author. Chapter topics include: plumage, shape, structure and voice; numbers and distribution; behaviour; ecology; the bird at sea; the gannet family and the order; the gannet and man.
