Having placed the department of Natural History under the 

 exclusive charge of my Nephew, Captain J. C. Ross, whose ac- 

 quirements in this branch of knowledge have been long known to 

 the public, from the results of the former voyages in which he was 

 engaged, I am indebted to him for the following pages ; which 

 have been drawn up by himself, with the assistance of those friends 

 whom he has noticed in his own Preface. 



JOHN ROSS.
