STUDY OF PENGUINS
Praise For Mr Richdale AMERICAN JOURNAL’S COMMENT A highly favourable opinion of the work of Mr L. E. Richdale is expressed in the course of a review which appears in the American Quarterly Review of Biology. The monograph under review is “A Study of a Group of Penguins of Known Age (Biological Monographs, No. D, printed by the Otago Daily Times. The reviewer opens with the following observation: — Because of their appealing and amusing appearance, penguins are well known to visitors of zoological gardens, but not well enough to the ornithologist. This latter deficiency has been reduced in great part by the persistent labours present writer, a resident of New Zealand, where some of the penguins live. The nature of the observations is summarised at some length and the notice concludes: Although limited in its scope to those penguins of known age, the amount of information extracted from the data speaks highly of the author’s devotion through long hours in the field and of his astute powers of observation.
