Capt. C. C. Abbott on the Birds 
described the habits of this Penguin under the name Aptenodytes 
chrysocome. It now appears, however, that the Rock-hopper of 
the Ealklands is a new species, which has been named by Mr. 
Gould, from specimens sent home by me, Eudyptes nigrivestis. 
53. Eudyptes chrysocome (Forst.). 
I obtained a single Penguin (which Mr. Gould recognizes as 
being the true E. chrysocome) out of the Rock-hopper rookery in 
the North Camp in December 1859. It was the only example 
I ever met with of this variety. 
54. Eudyptes antarcticus (Forst.). 
A specimen of a Penguin, which appears to be Eudyptes 
antarcticus , was brought to me one day, having been found in a 
bay by itself. It was evidently a stranger. On showing this 
bird also to Capt. Smyley, he informed me that it was a com¬ 
mon species on the islands further south, viz. Staten Land and 
New Georgia. The example in question is now in Mr. Gould's 
collection. 
55. Pelecanoides berardi (Q. et G.). 
This bird is not common, the only place I have seen it being 
Berkeley Sound. It is said to breed there, in holes along the 
shores of the adjacent islands. 
56. Thalassidroma nereis (Q. et G.). 
I picked up a Petrel (dead) in March 1858, which proved to be 
of this species. 
57. Thalassidroma-? 
A nearly black species of Petrel, much resembling the 
Common Storm-Petrel ( Thalassidroma wilsoni) } also occurs in 
the Falkland Islands, and, I believe, breeds there. It is said to 
be always found on Long Island, in Berkeley Sound, and I have 
likewise seen several specimens picked up dead on the shores of 
East Falkland. 
58. Procellaria gigantea. (Stinkard.) 
This large Petrel is common along the shores of East Falkland, 
being generally seen on the wing, though I have occasionally 
observed them settled on the water. It breeds on many of the 
adjacent islets, and I have had many of their eggs brought to me.
