[ I'm not sure what is the subject of the thread anymore.    ]

As a small issue about the source of the name Gentoo, even though the
Gentoo Penguin was named as *Pygoscelis papua* by  Forster, that does not
really help us to know where the English Common name came from.   Forster
apparently worked in South Africa, so that may help.
