Appendix II, pp. xlviii-lx, contains an article on the birds observed, about 20 

 in number. The authorship is not clear. Ross acknowledges his indebtedness 

 " for the article " to J. Edwards and C. J. Beverley, respectively surgeon and 

 assistant surgeon of the ' Isabella'; but the birds are apparently treated by E. 

 or J. Sabine and "W. E. Leach. Qrylle scapularis "Leach", p. li ; Uria francsii

Vol. I, Book II, Chap. I, pp. 66-84.— III. Land birds. IV. Different varieties of 

 ee.i-fowl. V. First class, with spoon-shaped bills. VI. Second class, with short 

 ■wings. VII. Third class, with long wings. VIII. Nourishment of sea-fowl and 

 their propagation. This bird-matter occupies pp. 71-84, being a very re.spectable 

 treatise on Greenl.and ornithology, considering when it was written ; the species 

 are readily identifiable, for the most part, and the remarks are tho.se of an actual 

 observer. This is a late edition ; see 1765, and especially what is said at 1767 ; I 

 am unable to make an actual comparison.

Ends with "A concise account of the principal animals which are found in the 

 northwestern p.art of North America", pp. 415-432; but this is conlined to mam- 

 mals, and the book is scarcely citable .as to ornithology ; still it contains some 

 slight notices of birds, here and there.
