I forgot to say that the only penguins mentionned in Blair & Robertson are those described by Pigafetta in what will be known as Magellan's Straits. For lack of a proper term, he called them "_occati_ = geese [cf. òca = goose]". (Blair & Robertson, vol. 33, pp. 50/51). Jean-Paul G. POTET. B. P. 56. 92114 CLICHY CEDEX. FRANCE.
