Abstract
The moduli of the eigenvalues at the edge of Ginibre's complex and quaternion Gaussian random matrix ensembles are shown to respond to a limit theorem identical in nature to that for independent identically distributed sequences. This is a companion work to ref. 15 in which the limit law for the (scaled) spectral radius of these ensembles was identified.
