of the Falkland Islands. 163 



found them to be young ones, both of which had been killed by 

 my fii'st shot. I had not observed them previously, or I certainly 

 should not have fired. 



46. PODICEPS ? 



I obtained, and sent to England, two specimens of a larger 

 species of Grebe than either of the two former, in 1859. They 

 were shot, I believe, near Fitzroy River, in East-Falkland Island. 



47. Aptenodytes pennantii. Gray. (King Penguin.) 



The King Penguin is an occasional visitor to the Falkland 

 Islands, its true habitat being further south. I have never 

 known it breed there ; but specimens of it are frequently met with 

 amongst the flocks of the Gentoo Penguin {Pygosceles wagleri), 

 with which it always seems to associate. 



48. Spheniscus MAGELLANicus (Forst.). (Jackass Penguin.) 

 I have already described the habits of this bird, which is a 



constant resident in East Falkland, under the name Aptenodi/tes 

 demersa (see ^Ibis,' 1860, p. 336). 



49. Pygosceles wagleri, Sclater. (Gentoo Penguin.) 



I have also spoken of this Penguin in last year's * Ibis * (1860, 

 p. 337), as Eudijptes papua. 



50. EuDYPTES CHRYsoLOPHUs, Brandt. (Maccaroni Penguin.) 

 This Penguin, which I likewise mentioned in my previous 



communication to ' The Ibis,' is always found in the rookeries of 

 the Rock-hopper [Eudyptes nigrivestis), but is by no means 

 common. 



51. Eudyptes diadematus, Gould, P. Z. S. 1860, p. 419. 

 This new species of Penguin, which has been named by Mr. 



Gould Eudyptes diadematus, I singled out of a flock of Rock- 

 hoppers in the beginning of September 1858, at Eagle Point 

 Rookery. This was the only specimen I ever found of the kind. 

 Capt. Smyley, an old resident in the Falklands, told me it was 

 common in New Georgia, and called by the sailors the ' Tufted 

 Penguin.' It has the largest crest of all the Penguins I have seen.
