And in connexion with the investigations which I am pursuing 

 other facts similarly valuable as shedding additional light upon 

 this branch of the natural history of our country are frequently

 the present report, in which the more important items of this extra- 

 neous matter is presented. Respectfully submitted, 



ASA FITCH.
