PARE. eAgq Cae: 
fal of Mr. Pennant’s Arétic Zoology; which has | 
enabled me to give feveral of the birds their pro- 
per names; for thofe by which they are known 
in Hudfon’s Bay are purely Indian, and of courfe 
quite unknown to every European who has not 
refided in that country. 
To conclude, I cannot fufficiently regret the lofs 
of a confiderable Vocabulary of the Northern 
Indian Language, containing fixteen folio pages, 
which was lent to the late Mr. Hutchins, then 
Correfponding Secretary to the Company, to 
copy for Captain Duncan, when he went on dif. 
coveries to Hudfon’s Bay in the year one thou- 
fand feven hundred and ninety. But Mr. Hutch- 
ins dying foon after, the Vocabulary was taken 
away with the reft of his effects, and cannot now 
be recovered; and memory, at this time, will by 
no means ferve to replace it.
