Wants nothing but the plates, which are not yet given, to be a complete 
monograph, (^fter a very minute bibliography (pp. 170-181) the author 
gives a sketch of the cranial characters of the three genera he recognizes — 
Aptetiodytes, Eudyptes, and Sphc7i{scus (pp. 181-189). Remarks on geo- 
graphical distribution (pp. 189 & 190) and a synoptical table (p. 192) of the 
12 species, not including S. mcndiculus (Zool. Rec. viii. p. 75), are followed by 
the Determination of the species (pp. 192-212), whence it appears that 
E. pnchyrhyncha, Gray, is the true E. chrysocome (Forst.), to which also E. 
niyrivcstisy Gould, is united. A. torquatoy Forst., A. palpchratay Licht., hnd 
S. hmnholdtiy Meyen, are referred to S. demersus (L,), of which S. mageUanicus 
(Forst.) is a variety. Dasyi'hamphus hm'culis (Zool. Rec. vii. p. 64) is E. adelm 
(II. & J.) juv., and S. imdinuSy Gould, is S. minor (Forst.)^
