Pa«‘e 57. 7. The account of the kin«' ])engnin is misleading in several 
particnlars. Pnreh' incidental notes made by Professsor Mosele\’ 
regarding this species at Prince Iwlward Psland, are here used as 
generalities. Among them are the broad .statements that the 
“breeding grounds are flat jflaces of hard soil covered with .slime;" 
that the birds run at a great pace “ maintaining an ipnaght 
po.sition :“ and that “ they pass to and from the water .singly, and 
not in flocks, as do other species.” As long ago as 1834, it was 
recorded that king penguins at Macquarie Island marched to and 
from the water in flocks of thirty or forty thousand.

po.sition is at lea.st half upright in the case of penguins generally. “

Page 59. 9. The rock-ho])per penguins “ have a most curious habit of 
stretching out the legs below the tail, laving their icings flat to their 
sides, arching their necks forward, and then making a sudden 
spring clear out of the waves,” Truly a curious habit, for by 
la\'iug their wings to their sides they must take away their only 
means of making the spring.
