All these splendid birds were in full plumage, and had a number 

 pinned on the breast, but there were no further particulars attached to 

 them : the original labels have been removed, and there are no details 

 of the colours of the soft parts, or of the exact localities where the 

 specimens were procured. One of them is evidently the moulting 

 individual described by Mr. Nicolai Hanson in his ' Diary ' : this is a 

 most interesting specimen, and, in connection with it, Mr. De Winton's 

 papers on the moult of the King-Penguin {Aptenodytes jjennanti) 

 should be studied (' P. Z. S.,' 1898, p. 900; 1899, pp. 980-981.) 



^ Nos. 1 and 2 are missing from the collection, and none of the specimens 

 had a label.
