422 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. xxix. 



the Different Voyages to the | South Seas [ since the year 1764. j By 

 Thomas Martyn, | Price Two Guineas/' | ] 



II. Short account of a private establishment. 4°. Lond. 



1789. 



[Tliis is the "Advert." found in his "Univ. Conch." and contains 

 Born's letters and the plates of medals.] 



Note. — Considering the stupendous undertaking upon which Mr. Sherborn is 

 engaged, of which the Index Animalluiii is only a preUminary instahnent, this is 

 doubtless as full an account as could reasonably be expected. We shall show, how- 

 ever, that the dates probably need some revision. The "unique" collection of 

 uncolored plates is perhaps such a gathering as is responsible for Englemann's entry 

 No. 1, elsewhere alluded to.
