Extract

In September 1892 I sailed from Dundee on board the s.s. “Active,” which, with three other ships, was sent out to discover, if possible, a whale fishery among the Antarctic ice. The general record of my voyage will be published elsewhere, as will also sundry other observations in natural history. The present note is concerned solely with the species of penguin met with to the south of the Falklands.
