try any further. These penguins are much less active on land than 

 other species. 



One was found on the coast, several miles away, on January 2, but I 

 saw no eggs or nests. Captain Fuller, of the schooner Eoswell King, 

 informs me that they do breed upon the eastern side of the island, on 

 the lowland, but that they build no nests whatever, carrying the egg 

 about in a pouch between the legs, and only laying it down for the pur- 

 pose of changing it from male to female. I have questioned Captain 

 Fuller again upon this subject since my return from the expedition, and 

 he asserts that he has verified the fact repeatedly from personal observa- 

 tion. The pouch, if there is one, can be no more than a fold of the skin, 

 siuce none was noticed in skinning or measuring the specimens. The 

 same story has been told of other penguins (see Pygoscelis). I can only 

 say that I have always found Captain Fuller's statements in other mat- 

 ters to be reliable, and look upon him as an unusually careful observer, 

 but can add no evidence of my own in this case.
