A List of Mammals, Birds, Insects, Reptiles, Fishes, 
Shells, Annelides, and Diatomacee, collected by 
myself in British Columbia and Vancouver Island, 
with notes on their habits. 
New species, together with those possessing any novel 
anterest, are described im Vol. I. or II. 
Here I think is the proper place to acknowledge the 
obligations conferred on me by the following gentle- 
men, without whose valuable aid I could not have 
determined and described the new species obtained :— 
' To Dr. E. Gray, first, for immense assistance con- 
ferred in his public capacity, and great kindness shown 
me in his private one. 
To Mr. George Gray (British Museum), for valuable 
help in making out the birds. 
To Dr. Baird (British Museum), for description of 
the new species of shells and annelides, and other valu- 
able help as regards the molluscous groups. 
To Mr. Smith (British Museum), for great assistance 
in determining, naming, and arranging the insects;
