In this book Mr. Job gives an interesting account of his 

 observations on birds in the above-mentioned districts, and 

 furnishes a large quantity of information with regard to the 

 breeding of North -American Waterfowl, which may well

 ornithologists. Grebes and Divers, Rock-birds, Petrels, Terns, 

 Ducks, and Geese are successively brought before us ; while

 American Herring-Gull on trees and the covering with earth
