Tristan da Cunha has already been mentioned under that 

 species, and this affords additional evidence in favour of the 

 specific difference of the two forms. 



This species was, however, observed off Gough Island by 

 the Scottish Expedition in somewhat less numbers than the 

 last, but no specimens were obtained there. 



23. EUDYPTES CHRYSOCOME (Foi'Ster) . 



Several Rock-hopper Penguins were seen ashore, but at 

 places where they could not be reached. Two skeletons, 

 with some feathers still adhering to them, were found on 

 the beach where the landing was effected, and were secured. 



At Gough Island, Mr. Comer says (Verrill, t. c. p. 462) , 

 there is no other kind of Penguin. They •'number millions" 

 and commence to lay by the 15th of September. This is 

 the only species of Penguin found at Tristan da Cunha, 

 where it breeds on all three islands. 



In addition to the three endemic land-birds, to which 

 special allusion has already been made, the following marine 

 species have been recorded for the Tristan da Cunha Isles 

 which have not been observed or obtained at Gough Island, 

 namely : — Anous melanogenys, Pelagodroma marina, and 

 Daption capensis, which Moseley (op. cit. p. 134) says breeds 

 there !

Mr. Andersen continues his notes on the birds of the 

 Fseroe Islands (see 'Ibis/ 1903, p. 248) — a group which, 

 situated halfway between Great Britain and Iceland, is 

 of much interest to English ornithologists, though compara- 

 tively seldom visited by them. The birds, however, appear 

 to be well watched by the native observers, whose notes 

 are here given, put together in methodical order. They 

 relate to 103 species.
