described as being intermediate in size between the Emperor 

 and Adelie Penguins, and as having a yellow patch under 

 each eye [? the yellow angle of the gape] and a red 

 superciliary crest three or four inches long. This might 

 well be regarded as a glorified description of fully adult 

 examples of the present species. 



It is probable, too, that this is the species of Catarrhactes 

 observed and obtained by the Swedish Expedition on Nelson 

 I., one of the South Shetlands, which was thought to 

 belong to C. chrijsocome. Most unfortunately tbe specimens 

 were lost with the wreck of the Expedition (cf. Lonnberg, 

 Wiss. Ergebn. d. Schwedischen Siidpolar - Exp. Bd. v. 

 Lfg. 5, p. 3).

The Emperor Penguin claims mention for the South 

 Orkneys on the strength of the following incident : — 



On November 21st, 1903, two sailors reported having 

 seen, by some open water at the mouth of Scotia Bay, a 

 large Penguin, which was " three times the size of an 

 Adelie," but having black feet and a bill like a Gentoo, 

 though with no mark on the head like the latter species. 



The bird unfortunately escaped into the water when the 

 men attempted to capture it. There can be no doubt about 

 the size of the bird having been correctly described, as the 

 Adelies were close at hand for comparison. The two men 

 who reported these facts were among the most careful and 

 trustworthy of the crew, and the conclusion come to at 

 the time was that the bird seen by them was an immature 

 Emperor Penguin.]
