island, and Walter K. Fisher, the or
nithologist, who was one of the party,
says that when they landed they got
into the petrol colonies, and that the
earth was so completely honeycombed
by their burrows THAT the members of
the expedition were continually sink
ing to their knees.
From out of the shadow of the tus-
socks" says he, young albatrosses,
uncouth and awkward, snapped their
beaks at us and, occasionally losing
their balance from overhaste, fell for
ward on their chins. This proceeding
usually made them actively sick.
Few of the birds seemed fright
ened, and with the exercise of little
care we were able to approach most
of the species as close as we wished.
1t was certainly gratifying to be able
to walk up to an albatross or a BOBBY
and watch it feed its young, and to
record this domestic duty with the
camera.
1T might, perhaps, be difficult to
convey the pleasure / experienced
when, standing in a group of alba
rosses, one cameup andpeeredintO my
