DISCOVERY REPORTS 



an approach may result in their breaking, and they have always an inclination to try to 

 escape. The bite of the pup, although annoying, is not serious. 



It should be added that, owing to their exposed nature, the majority of the rookeries 

 can only be worked in favourable weather. 



In the course of three seasons, 1934, 1935 and 1936, sixty-four rookeries were visited, 

 of these fifty-six were counted. The remaining eight were estimated after inspection and 

 were all small rookeries (PI. XXXIII). 



In the following table the rookeries have been divided into six more or less natural 

 groups which have been numbered with Roman figures. The rookeries are themselves 

 numbered consecutively and after each is the number of pups counted.
