"THIS is about the fize of a Duck: the body not unlike that of 
other Penguins in fhape, and covered with a kind of afh coloured 
down, which is of fo fine a texture, as to be made great ufe of by 
the natives, for it is capable of being {pun into threads, and made 
into garments, which are greatly valued. 
This is found in the Archipelago of Chilce, and is a very common 
fpecies : the native name of this bird is Quethu.

SIZE of the laft; but the neck larger, and the head comprefied at 
the fides, and {mall in proportion: bill flender, a little bent to- 
wards the point: the feathers on the upper parts of the body are blue, 
changing into grey, according to the licht; thofe of the breaft and 
belly white: the tail not diftinguifhable, being a mere elongation of 
the feathers of the rump: legs furnifhed with three toes only, and 
placed almoft in the vent, as in others of this tribe. 
Inhabits Chili; but the flefh is not efteemed there: it lays five or 
fix white eggs, {potted with black, on the fand: the fkin is faid to fe- 
parate eafily from the body, and perhaps, as the plumage confifts of 
fine hair rather than feathers, might be made ufe of for coverings. 
The natives give it the name of the Jnfant, from its manner. of walk- 
ing, its gait being unfteady like that of a child.
