PENGUINS ON THE SOUTH POLAR ICE. 
A scenr showing the immense droves of penguins which often clothe the sea 
edges of the ice and rocks in the South Polar regions is represented in the 
annexed plate. 
The individuals in the front are of the large species known as the Great 
Penguin, Aptenodytes Forsteri, Beyond is a group of the lesser, but perhaps ~ 
more beautiful, species, Aptenodytes Pennantit. 
In the distance are seen lines of another small kind, which has been made 
a separate genus, under the denomination of Eudyptes. It is inferior in charac- 
teristic beauty to either of the last named. Kudyptes antipodes is, however, 
worthy of a better representation than the dimensions of our plate permitted
