We saw the first full-grown Emperor penguin to-night.

Wilson went over the floe to capture some penguins and lay flat on the surface.

Coming to the larger mammals, one occasionally sees the long lithe sea leopard, formidably armed with ferocious teeth and doubtless containing a penguin or two and perhaps a young crab-eating seal.

In the evening we visited Seal Island, and killed five seals for the sake of their skins, which were serviceable for the rigging; the boat's crew also found some penguins (Aptenodytes minor) and a nest of iguanas.

We reached Cape Royds in 2 1/2 hours, killing an Emperor penguin in the bay beyond C. Barne.

Instead, he adorned the Paris salon with a large seascape showing penguins in the foreground.
