Adult. Similar in plumage to Eudyptes pachyrhynchus, but witba narrower bill andmucb more abundant ciest; 
besides wbicb tbe tbroat is dark slaty instead of black, and tbe flippers have a more conspicuous white outer 
margin ; a streak of golden yellow commencing at the base of the upper mandible, in a line with tbe nostrils, 
passes over the eyes and spreads out in a tuft behind to tbe length of three inches or more, tbe plumes being 
narrow and of soft texture ; the feathers on the sides of tbe head are also lengthened and mingle with the 
yellow plumes, forming together a fine erectile crest. Total length 26'5 inches ; length of flipper 6 75 ; 
tail 3'75 ; bill, along the ridge 2, along the edge of lower mandible 2'3 ; tarsus -75 ; middle toe and claw 2'75. 
Young. Has tbe plumage generally duller, and the tbroat largely mottled with fulvous white ; with little or no 
crest, and a very inconspicuous streak of yellow over tbe eyes. 
Far. An example from Campbell Island, in tbe Otago Museum, presents tbe following appearances : Head, 
throat, hind neck, and all tbe upper surface sooty brown, darkest on the crown and nape ; fore neck, breast, 
and underparts yellowish white, tbe brown of tbe upper parts fading into this on the sides of tbe body. 
Bill black at the base, bright yellow in its outer portion ; feet brown, with yellow claws. 
Ots. In some examples the coronal feathers are also produced, but not to tbe same extent as tbe lateral crests. 
Note. Professor Hutton, who described this form under tbe name of Eudyptes filholi, remarks “ In colour and 
in length of crest, this species is intermediate between E. chrysocome ■\ and E. chrysolopha-, but is easily 
distinguished from both by the superciliary yellow streaks commencing behind tbe termination of tbe 
culmeu instead of between tbe termination of the culmen and tbe nostrils, and by the dark eolour of tbe 
*- With regard to E. nigrivestis, I think I am right in stating that Mr. Gould, who distinguished the species, agreed with 
me tliat it could not stand.
