 Penguins and Petrels formed the order of the day ; the only 

 other birds seen being two Skuas, the Dominican Gull, the blue-

 young of most of these birds were secured, and of a special 

 interest was the finding of the eggs of the Cape Pigeon 

 (Daption capensis), which were previously unknown to science.
