APPENDIX. 



A List of Mammals, Birds, Insects, Reptiles, Fishes, 

 Shells, Annelides, and Diatomacece, collected by 

 myself in British Columbia and Vancouver Island, 

 with notes on their habits. 



New species, together with those possessing any novel 

 interest, are described in Vol. I. or II. 



HERE I think is the proper place to acknowledge the 

 obligations conferred on me by the following gentle- 

 men, without whose valuable aid I could not have 

 determined and described the new species obtained : 



To Dr. E. Gfray, first, for immense assistance con- 

 ferred in his public capacity, and great kindness shown 

 me in his private one. 



To Mr. Greorge Gray (British Museum), for valuable 

 help in making out the birds. 



To Dr. Baird (British Museum), for description of 

 the new species of shells and annelides, and other valu- 

 able help as regards the molluscous groups. 



To Mr. Smith (British Museum), for great assistance 

 in determining, naming, and arranging the insects;
