 about the mouth of the Arkansaw-river, which empties 

 itself into the Missisippi, nearly in the latitude of 33°

4. The Editor has nearly completed his obervations 

 and inquiries relative to one of the species of Siren, or 

 Proteus, which inhabit the swamps, and muddy grounds 

 of the Carolinas, and other parts of the United- States. 

 He has ascertained, in opposition to the assertion of the 

 celebrated Professor Camper, that this animal is furnished 

 with a very extensive system of Lungs, by which, as 

 well as by its Appendices Jimbriatae, or bronchial appa- 

 ratus, its respiration is carried on. The Editor has 

 transmitted the result of his observations concernino- 

 the Siren to Europe, where, it is probable, they will be 

 published.
