Bird eggs (Eudyptes moseleyi (Northern rockhopper penguin eggs))
16/10/1873; 16 October 1873
NMS-Z.1972.51.2
Notes: For an account of the penguin rookery see the Challenger Bird Report - HMS Challenger p.129. The Northern Rockhopper is the species often abundant on Tristan da Cunha. This would make these eggs Eudyptes moseleyi though this would need to be checked.
