No human beings are found in the Southern Ocean below the 55th 

 parallel of latitude, and none beyond the 50th, except on Patagonia and 

 Terra del Fuego. 



It is impossible to enter here into any of those points of scientific re- 

 search which these expeditions have been the means of communicating-. 

 It may not, however, be uninteresting to subjoin the result of Captain 

 Parry's observations on the temperature of Melville Island, iu 1819 and 

 ,i820, as indicating a very extraordinary degree of cold.
