[This Jackass Penguin goes a long way from land and 

 was noticeable everywhere, swimming and diving or else 

 basking in the sun on its side in a most leisurely manner 

 with one foot raised well over its back. Penguins were 

 principally seen in small lots of from two to eight birds. 

 When a long distance from land they appear to travel chiefly 

 under water and at a surprising rate. They are extremely 

 valuable to the Cape Government, and between Table Bay and 

 Ichabo there are many Government guano-preserves where 

 thousands of eggs are collected annually. A pure albino 

 was killed at Ichabo a few months prior to my arrival there. 

 Additional notes on this species will be found in my account 

 of Ichabo Island.— W. P. L.]
