The statement continues: *‘ie lepartment of Marine has jurisdiction over the Ross Sea, wherein the Byrd expedition and whalers operate. Leave appears to have been given some of these to take penguins. Among those secured were emperor penguins They appear to have been most unskilfully tended and fed, with tlm result that they died.
