The eggs of the Tufted Penguin vary much in shape. Some are 

 spheroidal, and others are of a short but broad oval form. Two 

 examples, however, are long and narrow, tapering to a point. The 

 smallest egg measures 1-63 by 1'38. Full-sized specimens vary 

 from 2-4 to 2-95 in length, and from 1-7 to 2'2 in breadth.

The eggs of the Macaroni Penguin are broad ovals with a 

 tendency, in some oases, to the pyriform. 



The specimens procured by the 'Challenger' expedition on 

 Kerguelen Island are all undersized, the smallest measuring 2-4 

 by 1'8. Full-sized examples measure from 3 to 3-45 in length, and 

 from 2-2 to 2-5 in breadth. They are consequently very much 

 larger than those of C. chrysocome.

» There can be little doubt that the eggs found on Heard Island by the 

 ' Challenger ' Expedition, and which were undetermined at the time," are 

 the eggs of C. chrysolophw. They agree well with eggs of this species from the 

 Falkland and Cro2et Islands.
