Abstract. Gherardelli and Andreotti defined a quasi-abelian variety of kind k. However, this definition is somewhat vague and we do not know the real meaning of the 'kind'. We give an example of a quasi-abelian variety which is of kind k > 0 but not of kind 0, in the sense of Gherardelli and Andreotti. We prove that if a quasiabelian variety X = C n / has an ample Riemann form of kind k, then it has an ample Riemann form of kind k for any k with 2k 2k n − m, where rank = n + m. Next we consider the pair (X, L) of a quasi-abelian variety X and a positive line bundle L on it. We characterize an extendable line bundle L to a compactification X of X.
