miles away from land.

770. Evupypres curysoLopnus, Brandt. Macaroni Penguin. 
The late M. Jules Verreaux assured us that in the year 1828 or 
1829 he found vast numbers of a Penguin dead on the rocks at 
Cape Point. One was brought to us nearly dead in 1868 which had 
been captured in Table Bay. He gave us the name of the Penguin 
observed by him #. chrysochome, but we believe that the species 
which he records was in all probability the present bird.
