range them in two distin6l tribes : the Southern 
has four toes on a foot ; though, Mr. Wiilugh-

toes, whereas it is confirmed to him to be true. 
The Southern also,'* adds Edwards, " has dif- 
ferent wings, and nothing on them to be called 
feathers: whereas," proceeds. BufFon, " the 
Northern Penguin has very small wings, co-

the species of the North, the bill is furrowed 
with channels on the sides, and raised with a
