Notice of Capt. Scoresby’s Voyage to Greenland. 
By T. S. Traill, MD. 
(To the Editor of the Annals of Philosophy.) 
DEAR SIR, Liverpool, Sept. 20, 1823. 
Tue importance of the following communication will, I think, 
induce you, even thus late, to give it a place in the next number 
of the Annals. . 
The Baftin, the ship of our friend Capt. Scoresby, jun. arrived 
here on the 19th inst. from Greenland with 195 tons of blubber, 
the produce of nine whales. The Baffin obtained her cargo 
principally near the east coast of Older West Greenland, which 
has been also named Lost Greenland, from the long period in 
which it was invisible to Europeans. Within sight of this inte- 
resting country, Capt. Scoresby remained for three months, and 
in the intervals of the fishery employed himself in making obser- 
vations on the geography and natural history of this hitherto 
almost unknown country. The result I understand is a real 
survey of the coast from lat. 75° N. down to 69°, comprising an 
extent (reckoning the various indentations and sinuosities ob- 
served) of about 800 miles | The coast visited by Capt. Scoresby 
is a continuation toward the north of that on which were planted
