The copy examined of this Supplement to the Appendix of Parry's First 

 Voyage is bound together with the Appendix to Parry's Second Voyage. A 

 good deal of confusion exists in citing the zoological matter of Parry's several 

 Voyages, and writers may be cautioned that they can hardly be too careful to 

 say what they mean, and, if possible, to handle the volumes instead of guessing 

 at second-hand. The present article, as far as the Birds go, is by Capt, E. Sabine ; 

 it occupies pp. cxciii-ccx, and treats of 32 spp., with descriptive matter, field- 

 notes, and some little synonymy. It refers to the same collection upon which 

 was based E. Sabine's Memoir on the Birds of Greenland, in vol. xii of the 

 Trans. Linn. Soc., 1818, q. v.

A critical commentary on 227 of Wilson's species, seriatim,- and as such one of 

 the most notable and in some respects the most important of early American 

 papers. Vieillot comes in also for a large share of criticism, chiefly unfavorable 

 to him. Contains many new identifications and much rectification of synonymy. 

 Spiza, iv, 45, Hcmipalama, v, 87, genn. nn. No new species are propose J, but 

 many species her appear under new combinations of gem ric and specific terms, 

 and several are renamed specifically for one reason or another, constituting de
