654 ON BIRDS COLLECTED BY THE 'CHALLENGER.' I Juue 4, 



" The only one seen. Eyes hazel ; the stomach had many por- 

 tions of fish, some of considerable size ; upper part of the feet white, 

 bill black or slate-coloured."— J. M. 



741, female, Falklands. 



" Eyes brown ; stomach had fish." — J. M. 



In our opinion this species is quite distinct from S. demersus of 

 the Cape, having a double band on the chest, as is well represented 

 in Forster's figure.

On comparison of the Kerguelen specimen with others from the 

 Falklands we find no reason for considering them otherwise than of the 

 same species. There is, however, less appearance of the white upper 

 tail-coverts in the Falklands specimens. Why Mr. Sharpe should 

 have supposed that E. chrysolophus (Sclater et Abbott) of the Falk- 

 lands was his E. saltator we cannot understand. 



Forster evidently had both the " Rock-hopper" and " Macaroni" 

 Penguins under his eyes when he described his Apt. chrysocome '. 

 Brandt first clearly separated the two species, which are quite dis- 

 tinct and easily recognized by the character which Brandt gives. 



The type specimen of E. diadematus, Gould, for which we have 

 made every inquiry, is unfortunately no longer to be found. Mr. 

 Gould has parted with it, he knows not whither. It was probably 

 only an individual variety cf this species.

On comparison of the series from these three localities we cannot 



satisfactorily recognize more than one species of " Rock-hopper."
