A LIST OF THE MANUSCRIPTS USED IN COMPLETING THE FORE- 

 GOING NOTES. 



1782. Hutchins, T. Observations on Hudson's Bay, 651 pp. ; pp. 45-180 treats of 

 birds. 



An interesting unpublished manuscript volume in the library of the Hud- 

 son's Bay Company at London, with marginal annotations by Pennant. The 

 author was for twenty-five years in the employ of the Hudson's Bay Com- 

 pany. There is no date or title page to the volume, but the last date men- 

 tioned is July 10, 1782, and it seems safe to conclude that it was issued 

 about this date, from the fact that Pennant, in his second volume of Arctic 

 Zoology (p. 222), published in 1785, refers to Mr. Hutchins's manuscript as 

 though it had just reached him in a complete state.
