 was engaged in its circumnavigation of the globe. In 1839 it touched at 

 Callao, where 30 species of shells were collected ; but it did not visit any 

 other part of the Panama province. In 1841, however, the Vincennes and 

 Porpoise were early on the coast of Oregon. The Peacock and Flying Fish 

 arrived there in July ; but the Peacock was lost on the bar of the Columbia 

 River. The Expedition proceeded as far as San Francisco, and left in No-
