THE CRESTED PENGUIN 



Penrose's account. " 



general stillness prevailed in these towns ; and 

 whenever we took our walks among them, in 

 order to provide ourselves with eggs, we were 

 regarded, indeed, with side-long glances, but we 

 carried no terror with us. 



" The eggs are rather larger than those of a 

 goose, and are laid in pairs. WheTi we took 

 them once, and sometimes twice in a season, 

 they were as often replaced by the birds; but 

 prudence would not permit us to plunder too far, 

 lest a future supply in the next year's brood 

 might be prevented." 



There is also a species at New Zealand not 

 larger than a teal, and in almost all parts of the 

 South Seas they are found in abundance, of all 

 kinds and sizes.
