 Note : — A careful reading of Puller's ' Supplement ' clearly 

 shows the confusion in which the forms of Penguins stand. 

 INTaterial is not available for a thorough revision of the 

 group; while Waite, in the 'Birds of the Subantarctic Islands 

 of New Zealand ' (vol.ii. 1909, pp. 57G-580), made confusion 

 M'orse confounded, the reason being fully explained by the 

 author's introductory note (p. 551): "While on the islands 

 I did not pay the special attention to the birds I would have 

 done had I known what would later have been required of 

 me .... consequently I have little material for purposes 

 of identification or description.'^ It would seem from Puller's 

 very mixed accounts (such sentences occurring on the same 

 page about the same birds as this, " It has never, I believe, 

 been found on the Auckland Islands .... Of this species, 

 hitherto only known as occurring on the Auckland 

 Islands,") that each breeding-])lace is probably occupied 

 by a distinct subspecies. Series are required to work out 

 these birds, and a beautiful paper by Milne-Edwards (cited 

 above) appears to have been somewhat overlooked. In that he 

 showed that Fil hoi's series from the Campbell Islands were 

 constant, and constituted a recognisable subspecies. The 

 Macquarie Island P. schlegeli is the New Zealand repre- 

 sentative (but seemingly specifieallv distinct) of the Falkland
