APPENDIX. 



The names of the distinguished persons affixed to the 

 following papers on natural history are of themselves 

 sufficient to command attention to their productions ; but 

 I feel called on again to state that the merit of making 

 the collection of which they give an account is entirely 

 due to Mr. King, who, I am convinced, had our means 

 and opportunities of conveyance been more favourable, 

 would have still added to the number of specimens 

 brought home. We were without the kind of shot 

 calculated for killing small birds, inconvenienced by 

 want of room in our single boat, and assailed by almost 

 constant rain, while the barren grounds afforded little 

 beyond moss for fuel. In such circumstances, much 

 credit is due to him for the zeal and perseverance which 

 he evinced, amid difficulties of so varied a nature. — G. B.
