136 bulletin: museltm of comparative zoology. 



I was too late to find any nests, but was told by a resident that these 

 birds nest on the shore very near the water. There was no growth of 

 aquatic vegetation to be seen that would afford the opportunity to 

 nest in the manner adopted by most of the group. 



The eyes of adults are red, the tarsi blackish gray, the lobes gray. 



The following description is of a downy young, M. C. Z. 70,574, 

 taken at San Carlos November 7, 1915. 



General color above sooty brown, some of the feathers light buff 

 terminally. Sides indistinctly barred with gray and rufous buff; 

 breast and upper abdomen white; lower abdomen and crissum gray. 



The head-pattern similar to P. americanus. Stripes on crown light 

 rufous and black; lores gray with tinge of bufY; subocular stripe pure 

 white inunediately beneath the eye, light rufous posterior to this 

 fading to dirty white. Small malar spot of black on each side of head. 

 Neck striped as in P. amcricanvs with sooty brown and dirty white 

 with slight bufT cast. Chin and upper throat white; upper breast 

 feathers light rufous with gray terminations. Eyes dull gray-brown; 

 legs and toes slate color. 



Aptenodytes patagonica Miller.

It was my good fortmic to find a single nude on January 4, 1910, 

 at Port Stephens, on a small sandy beach in the midst of about two 

 hundred Jackass Penguins. This specimen was in good condition 

 and though not very fat weighed thirty -five pounds. 



Pygoscelis PAPUA (Forster). 

 (xentoo Penguin. 



This is an exceinlingly abundant species, gathering in colonies of 

 from two or three lunuh'ed pairs to countless thousands. 



C. C. Abbott writing in the Ibis, 1860, p. 336, states that at that
