We divide non-breeding species into 4 categories: identification fully confirmed (A); identification probable but not confirmed beyond doubt (B); ship-assisted (C); introduced (D). The code is placed after the scientific name of the species. The identity of those providing unpublished records is indicated by initials, the full names being in the acknowledgements. A map of the general area (Fig. 2) shows the extent of the Maritime Zone around South Georgia, the extent of the continental shelf and the approximate position of the Antarctic Polar Front.

The eighth record was of an immature photographed at St Andrews Bay on 13 July 1985 (Clark 1986). To date all the records except one (of unknown age) are of immatures. Immatures in moult occasionally visit Tierra del Fuego (Humphrey et al. 1970); there are three records for the Falkland Islands, two involving immatures (Woods 1988, Curtis 1994) and one record (of three immatures) at sea at 40°30'S, 54°34'W, not far south of the Subtropical Convergence (Rumboll & Jehl 1977). The species breeds at 38 localities around the Antarctic continent (Woehler 1993), the nearest to South Georgia being 2350 km distant. KING PENGUIN Aptenodytes patagonicus (A) Abundant, widespread breeder, whose population increase has averaged at least 5% per annum over the last 80 years (Croxall et Please note that these i
