EMPEROR PENGUINS
Discovery Bv Russians
(N.Z.P.A. .Reuter—Copyright) MOSCOW, May 18. Soviet Antarctic expeditions have found 11 colonies of Emperor penguins numbering about 150.000. This disproves the theory that the birds lived only in isolated colonies, Tass said today. ■ The leader of the Soviet expedition. Yevgeny Korotkevich, said the colonies had been found scattered over 3000 miles of the Antarctic coastline.
Members of the Mirny base expedition had also caught sea birds ringed by the Australian Antarctic expedition at Wilkes, he added.
