The eggs of the Tufted Penguin vary much in shape. Some are 

 spheroidal, and others are of a short but broad oval form. Two 

 examples, however, are long and narrow, tapering to a point. The 

 smallest egg measures 1'63 by 1'38. Full-sized specimens vary 

 from 2-4 to 2'95 in length, and from 1-7 to 2-2 in breadth.

The eggs of the Macaroni Penguin are broad ovals with a 

 tendency, in some cases, to the pyriform. 



The specimens procured by the ' Challenger ' expedition on 

 Kerguelen Island are all undersized, the smallest measuring 2-4 

 by 1*8. Full-sized examples measure from 3 to 3'45 in length, and 

 from 2-2 to 2'5 in breadth. They are consequently very much 

 larger than those of C. chrysocome.

* There can be little doubt that the eggs found on Heard Island by the 

 'Challenger' Expedition, and which were undetermined at the time, are 

 the eggs of C. chrysolophus. They agree well with eggs of this species from the 

 Falkland and Crozet Islands.
