 Professor Thomas C. Porter, of lAIarshall college, Mercersbiirg, is subjoined. A list of the birds

 tJie Yellowstone, has been kindly furnished by i\Ir. Edward Harris, of IMoorestown, N. Jersey, 

 and includes many species not seen by Mr Culbertson. Mr. Harris visited the Upper Jlissouri 

 in 184'2, in company with the distinguished naturalist, Mr. J. J. Audubon, recently deceased, for 

 (he purpose of assisting the latter gentleman in procuring materials for his valuable work on the 

 niannnalia of North America. No .systematic catalogue of the kind has ever been before pre- 

 sented, although detached notices may be found in the narrative by Maximilian Prince de Wied
