These animals ordinarily keep upon the rocks.

We also saw several foxes of the species called _Virginia_ fox: they were shy and yet fierce, barking like dogs and then flying precipitately.

Penguins are also numerous on the Falkland Isles.

These birds have a fine plumage, and resemble the loon: but they do not fly, having only little stumps of wings which they use to help themselves in waddling along.

The rocks were covered with them.
