   This 
  is 
  a 
  new 
  species 
  from 
  Otago, 
  and 
  I 
  believe 
  the 
  type 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  

   Dunedin 
  Museum.

  This 
  form 
  has 
  been 
  added 
  from 
  the 
  Macquarie 
  Islands. 
  

  

  Another 
  penguin 
  referred

  to 
  E. 
  diadcmaius 
  but 
  identified 
  by 
  

   Finsch 
  as 
  E. 
  chrysolopha, 
  Brant, 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  come 
  from 
  New 
  Zealand, 
  

   but 
  only 
  on 
  the 
  authority 
  of 
  a 
  dealer.

  This 
  very 
  distinct 
  species 
  was 
  received 
  by 
  Prof, 
  Hutton 
  from 
  the 
  Snares. 
  

   The 
  jet 
  black 
  colouration 
  of 
  its 
  under 
  surface 
  separates 
  this 
  form 
  from 
  all 
  

   the 
  other 
  known 
  species, 
  and 
  its 
  massive 
  deep 
  bill, 
  its 
  very 
  small 
  hind 
  toe 
  

   and 
  long 
  tail, 
  afford 
  other 
  distinguishing 
  characters. 
  In 
  size 
  it 
  is 
  equal 
  

   to 
  the 
  well-known 
  crested 
  penguin 
  (Eiuhjptes 
  -pachyrliiinchus).

   I 
  have 
  already 
  stated" 
  my 
  reasons 
  for 
  considering 
  this 
  a 
  mere 
  variety 
  of 
  

   Eudtjptula 
  vnnor, 
  but 
  Dr. 
  Finsch 
  still 
  believes 
  in 
  its 
  validity 
  as 
  a 
  species. 
  

   The 
  only 
  differences 
  pointed 
  out 
  by 
  the 
  learned 
  doctor 
  are, 
  a 
  patch 
  of 
  white 
  

   on 
  the 
  upper 
  tail-coverts, 
  and 
  a 
  strongly 
  marked 
  peculiarity 
  in 
  the 
  

   colouration 
  of 
  the 
  flippers.

   In 
  Volume 
  VI 
  of 
  our 
  Transactions, 
  page 
  113, 
  I 
  pointed 
  out 
  why, 
  in 
  my 
  

   opinion, 
  Mr. 
  Sharpe 
  was 
  wrong 
  in 
  proposing 
  to 
  substitute 
  Hieracidea 
  

   australis 
  for 
  the 
  above 
  name, 
  in 
  his 
  communication 
  to 
  'The 
  Ibis,' 
  1873 
  pp. 
  

   327-330. 
  In 
  his 
  official 
  catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  Accipitres 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  

   he 
  not 
  only 
  gives 
  H. 
  australis 
  the 
  precedence, 
  but 
  commits 
  (as 
  I 
  venture 
  to 
  

   think) 
  the 
  further 
  error 
  of 
  making 
  it 
  a 
  "sub-species," 
  whatever 
  that 
  may 
  

   mean, 
  of 
  H. 
  novce-zealandicr. 
  The 
  two 
  birds 
  are 
  either 
  specifically 
  distinct, 
  as
