178 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OP 



puts Abbot's chrysocome as a synonym of nigrivestis, Gould ; 

 but as this last is a synonym of chrysocome, Forst, the affair 

 seems to odd itself even. 



1860. Sclater, P.Z. S. 382. In a catalogue of the Falkland 

 Islands' Avifauna, the author gives (p. 392) five species of pen- 

 guins (pennantii, mag ell aniens, chrysolopha, chrysocome, Forst. 

 and ivagleri, Scl.). He is, we think, perfectly justified in cancelling 

 Scopoli's name "papua" on the score of geographical inapplica- 

 bility, but in proposing to call the species after Wagler, has he 

 not overlooked Peale's prior designation? (For additions and 

 corrections, cf. Id. ibid., 1861, 45.) 



1860. Gould, P. Z. p. 418. Two new species of Eudyptes 

 are described. One of them, E. nigrivestis, is a synonym of 

 chrysocome, Foi'st. The other, E. diademata, is a valid species. 

 Both are from the Falklands. 



1861. Gould, Ann. Hag. N. H. 218. Notices of his crested 

 species. 



1865. Owen, P. Z. S. xxxiii. 438. Results of a post-mortem 

 examination of Aptenodytes " patachonica." 



1865. Pelzeln, Reise Novara,-p\. 5. Eudyptes "chrysocome" 

 with young, figured. 



1867 (originally 1840). Xitzsch, Pterylography {Ray Soc, 

 ed. Sclater). An important contribution of original and new 

 matter on the pterylosis of the family. 



1867. Schlegel, Mus. Pays-Bas, Urinatores. All the known 

 species of the family being represented in the Leyden Museum, 

 this article is, in effect, a monograph of the Spheniscidse ; and it 

 is, in every respect, the most satisfactory treatise upon the subject 

 that has appeared, being as much superior to the contemporaneous 

 literature as Forster's was in its day and generation. As far as 

 the determination of the species is concerned, our own studies 

 bear out Dr. Schlegel's in every single instance ; indeed, it seems 

 to us impossible to reach any other conclusion, when any con- 

 siderable and sufficient amount of material is examined. The 

 present article of ours is so completely an indorsement of Dr. 

 Schlegel's, that the only points of difference are one or two unim- 

 portant synonymical determinations among the crested species, 

 which, after all, will probably remain matters of opinion. Dr. 

 Schlegel's analysis of the species is an excellent clue to their 

 determination. He presents five primary sections, the first repre-
