1819. Ross, J. ? A | Voyage of Discovery, | made under the orders of the 

 Admiralty, | in | His Majesty's ships | Isabella and Alexander, | for

 street. | | 1819. 1 vol. 4to. 2 p. 11., pp. i-xl, 1-252, 1 1., pp. 

 i-cxxxvi, maps, plates. 



Appendix II, pp. xlviii-lx, contains an article on the birds observed, about 20 

 in number. The authorship is not clear. Ross acknowledges his indebtedness 

 "for the article" to J. Edwards and C. J. Beverley, respectively surgeon and 

 assistant surgeon of the ' Isabella'; but the birds are apparently treated by E. 

 or J. Sabine and W. E. Leach. Grylle scapularis "Leach", p.li; Uria francsii 

 "Leach ", p. lii ; Xema (" Leach ", but named first in 1816) sabini " Sabine ", "non- 

 descript", p. Ivii, plate (but with reference to Thomson's Ann. of Philos., vol. xiii), 

 are described as if spp. nn., but were named elsewhere earlier.

VoL I, Book II, Chap. I, pp. 66-84. III. Land birds. IV. Different varieties of 

 sea-fowl. V. First class, with spoon-shaped bills. YI. Second class, with short 

 wings. VII. Third class, with long wings. VILE. Nourishment of sea-fowl and 

 their propagation. This bird-matter occupies pp. 71-84, being a very respectable 

 treatise on Greenland ornithology, considering when it was written ; the species 

 are readily identifiable, for the most part, and the remarks are those of an actual 

 observer. This is a late edition ; see 1765, and especially what is said at 1767 ; I 

 am unable to make an actual comparison. 



1820. HARMON, D. W. A | Journal | of | Voyages and Travels | in the | In- 

 teriour of North America, | between the 47th and 58th Degrees of 

 Latitude, . . . [etc., 11 lines]. | Illustrated by a map of the coun-

 Company. | | Andover : | Printed by Flagg and Gould. | 1820. 1 

 vol. sm. 8vo. pp. i-xxiii, 25-432, portrait, map. 



Ends with "A concise account of the principnl animals which are found in the 

 northwestern part of North America", pp. 415-432; but this is confined to mam- 

 mals, and the book is scarcely citable as to ornithology ; still it contains some 

 slight notices of birds, here and there.
