In the Pall Mall Magazine for November Mr. W. H. Bickerton gives an Interesting account of this curious spe-dof birds. Royal penguins begin coming to the Macquarie Islands In January to moult their breeding season being from September to the beginning of December. Having gotten rid of the old coat, the penguin looks very handsome in his new plumage everything he has on seems to fit so well. But he Is so thin that It seems as If his breast bone would cut through the skin. The cunning with which the penguins land amid tka awful surf Is wonderful. They face the wave Just before It breaks and dive underneath, coming up again behind, ready for the O'jxt one; one comes which seems smaller to them than the previous ones, and they roll themselves up Into a ball and are swept on to the shore with terrific force. The speed with which they are carried on does not matter in the least to them; and we sen them being rolled over and over on the beach, until tbs wave begins to go baek, when they uncurl and waddle up to the dry shingle, shaking themselves to get the water off their feathers. All the penguins go about In pairs, sod the birds form a long white line round the beach, marching two by two. until the creek leading to the rookeries Is reached. Here, in spile of the millions of little feet which have passed along, the ground becomes too rough and narrow for double marching and the birds separate; one going a little way ahead, stooping constantly and looking anxiously round to see if the other is following close encugh. Wherever the path permits It the pairs rejoin and walk again aid by side. The consideration shown by the mates to each other is a very pretty sight, and affords a lesson to poor suffering humanity; but it would hardly do to follow them in all things as arrther's necks and talk love one In their language. peculiar penguin These birds seem to be an intensely loving race, although their emotions ars somewhat narrow never extending beyond the family circle." The rookeries are on the slopes of the hills, and the top penguins have a very trying time after they have finished moulting; they have to pass right through the rookery to get to the sea, and every bird pecks at them as they pass. Their method of going through, is to hold up their heads as high as they can, and make a dash for it, resting wherever there is room to stand out of reach of the unfriendly beaks of the other penguins. The laying season of the royal penguins begins in September. They have only one egg, and both the male and female take turns in hatching and feeding the young one until it can go to sea and fish for itself; this happens when it is about three months old. In hatching, the egg is simply laid on the ground, the parents in turn lying upon it. It takes a month for the egg to break. Although the royal penguins are in such numbers, yet I think tbe king 4 fr a wandering rookery on the beach, and sp.:id their single lives in what wa term "a glorious loaf. When they are hurgry they go out to sea to fish, and g owing to the appetltee of countless penguins, 'they have to go a long distance away. Watching from the shore these birds can be seen returning far away on the crest of a wave, where they are Just distinguishable by the white dots of surf they make in swimming.

They appear to vary In height, but this is only due to the elasticity of their necks, which are sometimes stretched to their fullest extent, and at other times are drawn pen-gain- down. There is only one breeding rookery of king penguins on Macquarie Island, The they being comparatively rare. breeding season extends over a considerable period, as they do not all begin to lay at the same date. The tint birds lay in October, but in March considerable numbers are still hatching.

In the rookery the birds stand up- I right with their mates, their white breasts often touching, helping each other to stand more comfortably. Day by day their feathers become more untidy and the birds seem to grow big-- g if and bigger until those who have moulted look like little children beside the others. Then gradually the feathers fall off and the bird itself hastens matters with its beak. In the awkward places the mates help each other, and the confidence with which each bird turns to the other when it cannot help itself is very Interesting. If two royal penguins are separated, asd carried a little way out of sight, they walk disconsolately about uutil they see each other again. As soon as they find their mates they rush together, and the Intense Joy expressed by ecry movement as they are hurrying forward, is impossible to describe. There Is a humming and flapping of wii.gr as they meet, and a soft "rawing" soise, until at last they sink upon king penguins, for at this date' we found them in all stages of growth. There were eggs still being hatched, little onea Just out of the shell, with nothing on but a coat of black leather-lik- e akin, and a few hairs sprinkled sbout which couldn't be called down Then there were young ones yet. neaily the slxe of their parents, looking more like quadrupeds than birds, with a thick coating of brown fluffy stuff similar to opossum fur, which when wet causes the youngsters to lo- k like brown retriever pups, with masses of curly locks clinging to them.
