522 MPENNES CATARBHACTES 



1828 or 1829 he found a large number of these birds dead on the 

 rocks near Cape point, while one, captured in Table Bay, was 

 brought to Mr. Layard himself in 1868. 



Mr. Layard's specimen is no longer in the South African 

 Museum, and there seems to be some little doubt as to whether it 

 should be referred to this or to the allied Macaroni Penguin. This 

 latter species can be at once distinguished by having the yellow 

 crest springing from the centre of the crown and not from the 

 sides. It is found on the islands of the Southern Ocean from the 

 Falkland s to Kerguelen, but it has not been met with on the 

 Tristan group. Figures and good descriptions of the habits of 

 both these species will be found in the account of the birds obtained 

 by the " Challenger " Expedition.
