en about the rookery.About 100 ringed penguins are nesting on the big rookery but none on the small one.Many penguins going to the water in the south to feed. I marked eggs at the smallrookery as usual. Nests where first egg was laid on the llth have now a second egg.I found one gentoo egg entirely without a shell but the bird sat on it like an ordinaryegg. To-day the adelias were continually shaking themselves of the snow and wet ontheir coats, and their way of doing it is exactly like a dogs. About 100 ringedpenguins were found nesting on the big rookery scattered here and there among the others.200 gentoo eggs and three terns eggs were brought back from a nest a little beyond therookery.
