As rei^anls uneniics, I jud,i;e that this si)ccit;s is Httle tmuliled hy the 
skua ( La//iai,u/,i ). the scourSL' of the J'\\oosi<ils nxikeriL-s. Its enemy in 
the ocean is the sea leni,anl ( //yiiiinxu !ip/oiiyx\. From the stomach of 
one of these seals killed at the Ba\^ of Isles, earh' in the morning of 
Januar\- 14, 1913, I took the remains of four king; penguins, liesides fish 
and other material. The magnitude of this breakfast may be more fully 
a])]ireciated if I record that the weight of mature king penguins from the 
Lucas Cdacier colonv averaged 20 kilograms. 
Measurements in mi
