the throat deej) vel\ety-bhuk. agreeing with the cohjur of the 

 cheeks and top of the head. A full crest of yellow feathers com- 

 mences as a thick line at the lores and extends over the eyes on 

 each side of the head. The bill is very stout, though short. E. 

 serresianiis is the smaller bird, with generally lighter slate-blue 

 upper coloration, and the throat is slaty or grey-black, agreeing 

 with the cheeks, and much lighter than the black of the top of 

 the head. A long, flowing crest of yellow and l)lack feathers 

 commences at the lores as a thin yellow line extending over the 

 eyes. The bill is shorter than in the preceding, and comparatively 

 slender. When these differences are grasped the birds are easily 

 separable, but without actual comparison of specimens it is 

 difficult to attach the existing records of Penguins in Australian 

 waters. Thus, H. Stuart Dove, in The Ibis (1916, p. 86), appears 

 to have been dealing with the smaller species, while Brooke 

 Nicholls's Victorian specimen seems to have undoubtedly been 

 the larger species. In The Emu, vol. ix., p. 92 (1909), Conigrave 

 recorded a specimen from Rottnest Island, Western Australia, noting 

 that A. J. Campbell in 1889 had recorded the first from West 

 Australia from Hamelin Harbour, near Cape Leeuwin. I saw 

 two specimens in the South Australian Museum, one of which 

 seemed to be the smaller species, the other the larger ; but these 

 must be re-examined. In the Donations to the South Australian 

 Museum, 1914 (Report, p. 12. 1915), appears: — "A big crested 

 Penguin {Eudyptes pachyrhynchiis) from Mr. J. W. Hilton, head 

 keeper of the Cape Banks lighthouse." As Mr. E. A. Waite. the 

 Director of the ^luseum. is familiar with these birds, we can with 

 certainty attach this record to the larger species. 

 We have, then, for Australia 



Eudyptes pachyrhynchus, Gray.
