The rocks here, and indeed at all points where they are visible, are yellow, red or brown in colour, sometimes showing signs of stratification, but always very much crumpled and contorted, often seamed with dykes of grey rock and sometimes apparently with large intrusive masses of brown material showing vertical striation. Cook Island differs from all the others of the group except Leskov in that, so far as we were able to observe, penguins are entirely absent. They are certainly extremely scarce, and this is evidently due to the very steep coast which is at no point suitable for a rookery. On the high cliffs facing Douglas Strait, myriads of Silver-grey petrels were perched and we think it more than probable that they nest here.
