LAND TORTOISE. TESTUDO EPHIPPIUM (GUNTHER) 
Mr. Robert McKay found this tortoise in a crater on Duncan Island. 
the last minute and added to the collection 
over which Miss Rose held jurisdiction. On 
three meals of chopped-up fish a day they 
thrived, and at present are in full juvenile 
plumage. When adult they are exquisite in 
gull grey, black, and white, with a striking 
scarlet line about the eye. 
The smallest penguins in the world and 
those farthest north were ladled out of a cave 
in Tagus Cove one morning by James Curtis and 
carried to the deck of the “Noma.” Never had 
they seen human beings before, but they walked 
courageously up to us and took fish with as much 
enthusiasm and lack of fear as if hand-feeding 
on a steam yacht had been their daily routine 
since birth. They are the j oiliest of little 
companions, and their serious Charlie Chaplin 
walk is the most amusing thing in the world 
of birds. 
HARRISON COVE 
The Cove is on the north-west shore of Indefatigable Island.
