Voyage to Falkland Iflands * * * § . 
Of the albatroffes, none were found on fhore except the 
grey one, which is commonly met with at fea in the higher 
Southern latitudes. Once I faw one of thefe fitting in the 
cliff of a rock, but they were frequently flying about the 
harbour; and the common large fort, as well as the fmaller 
with a black face, were feen farther out. 
Penguins form, by far, the greated number of birds 
here; and are of three forts : The firft, or larged:, I have 
feen formerly at the ill and of Georgia t. It is alfo men¬ 
tioned by Bougainville J; but it does not feem to be fo fo- 
litary as he reprefents it, for we found confiderable num¬ 
bers flocking together. The head is black, the upper part 
of the body a leaden grey, and the under part white, with 
black feet. It has two broad dripes of fine yellow, that 
begin on the ddes of the head, and defcending by each 
fide of the neck, meet above its bread. The bill is partly 
reddifh, and longer than in the other forts. 
The fecond fort of penguin fcarcely exceeds half the fize 
of the former. The upper part of the body is a blackifh 
grey, with a white fpot on the upper part of the head, 
growing broader at each fide. The bill and feet are yel- 
lowifh. A very accurate figure and defcription, both of 
this and of the preceding, is given by Mr. Sonnerat §- 
The third fort of penguin met with here, had never been 
feen by any of us before. Its length is twenty-four inches,
