Dr. Coues in h is “ M onograph” of th e Spheniscidæ revives
Scopoli’s name for th is species, and in th is I th in k he is
justified, for, laying aside Gmelin’s title of patachonica
^y■hieh confuses two species, th e Apterodyta longirostris of
Scopoli (Del. Faun, e t Flor. Insuhr. ii. p. 91), seems to be
th e n e x t in order of priority. I t is founded on “ Le
Manchot de la Nouvelle Guinée ” of Sonnerat, (Voy. N. G.
p. 180, pl. 113), and although th e figiu-e in th is plate is
very had, representing tlie black on th e th ro at as extending
far down to th e centre of th e breast, tire description quite
agrees.
A single specimen was brought hy th e Expedition, supposed
to be from Kerguelen Island,
