_ Treats of the Spheniscidae in the collection, commencing 

 with remarks on the general characters of the family, espe- 

 cially on the pterylography.^ Spheniscus demersus is united 

 with S. magellanicus, we believe, quite erroneously; but it 

 seems that there is only one young specimen of the former 

 and one adult of the latter available for comparison. Some 

 osteological notes by Dr. Elliott Coues are added.
