INTRODUCTION. 205 



series of the whole collection has been housed in the Scottish Oceanographical 

 Laboratory. I have presented several of the new and rarest species to the British 

 Museum, while the museums in Scotland have also benefited. 



I have to thank Mr Eagle Clarke for his important contributions. I have also to 

 acknowledge the valuable work Mr L. N. G. Ramsay has done in putting in excellent 

 order the ornithological collections as a whole, and in giving such a complete account 

 of the birds seen and captured during the whole voyage. Dr R. N. lludmose Brown 

 gives an important contribution on the " Life and Habits of Penguins," a brief summary 

 of the results of his own excellent observations and those of the other naturalists of the 

 Scotia. Free use has been made by the various authors of the bird notes in the 

 Zoological Log of the "Scotia" (Rep. on the Sci. Ken. of the Voyage of the S.Y. 

 " Scotia," IV. i. ), and also of the journals kept by the other naturalists and myself 

 during the voyage. The ornithological report, therefore, is a very complete one, and 

 the sum of the united efforts of all on board the Scotia.
