The Patagonian Penguin was not obtained by the naturalists of the 

 Princeton Expeditions to Patagonia. The material used in these descrip-

 Plantes.

 for the Antarctic as Master of the sealing schooner ' Francis Allyn.' After 

 some experimenting with cameras to find one best suited to the bad con-
