capable of dilatation ; yet in no drawing I have seen of a penguin is the pupil so 

 relatively small as observed by me. 



The note of this bird is much higher pitched than that of C. sdateri, and the 

 shriek is quite piercing. 



Hab. — Southern lands, Tasmania, Australia, New Zealand ; Snares, Auckland, 

 Campbell, Antipodes, Bounty, and Macquarie Islands.

Though numerous examples of C. chrysocome were found breeding at the Snares, 

 the great bulk of the penguins were C. 'pachyrhynchus. These birds find a plenitude 

 of fairly level nesting-sites on this island, and, probably for this reason, there is — or 

 so it appears — more toleration of the smaller species than is exhibited by C. sdateri 

 at the Antipodes. C. vittatus, Finsch, has been regarded as a young example of 

 this species.
