APPENDIX. 711 



We wifh that any thing we could fay, would 

 induce others of our countrymen to follow their 

 example : they need not fear that the matter is 

 exhaufted, for every county will furnilh new obfer- 

 vations ; each of which, when compared, will ferve 

 to itrengthen and confirm the other. Such an 

 amufement is worthy of every one, beneath none ; 

 but would become no order of men better than our 

 clergy, as they are (or ought to be) the bed 

 qualified, and the mod ftationary part of the com- 

 munity •, and, as this is a mixed fpecies of ftudy 

 (when considered as phyfico- theology) it is there- 

 fore particularly pertinent to their profefTion. A 

 mod ingenious friend, whom modelty prevents 

 from putting his name to a work that renders ob- 

 fervations of this kind of the utmofl facility, has 

 pointed out the way, and methodized every remark 

 that can occur \ the farmer, the fportfman, and the 

 philofopher, will be led to the choice of materials 

 proper to be inferted in that ufeful companion, the 

 Naturalift's Journal*. 



From the obfervations of our friends, from thofe 

 made by ourfeives, and from the lights afforded 

 us by preceding writers, we mail, in the brief re- 

 lation we can pretend to give, proceed in a generi- 

 cal order, and as far as poflible, trace each fpecies 

 of bird to its retreat,
