ALLEN'S BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CETACEA AND SIRENIA. 445 



1744. CHARLEVOIX, P. F. X. DE. Continued. 



Ill the "Huitieme Lettrc" occurs important cetological matter, as follows: De la Pecho 

 du Loup Marin, do la Vache Marine, du Marsouin, & des Baleincs, pp. 143-149 (Maraouins, 

 pp. 147-149 ; Baleines, p. 149). The account relates mostly to the "Marsouin blanc " (Beluga 

 catodon] and its capture, from which it appears that there were two points, a few miles be- 

 low Quebec, in the Saint Lawrence River, at which these animals were then taken in consid- 

 erable numbers. A few "Whales were still caught at the mouth of the Bay of Saint Lawrence. 



Two editions of this work were issued at Paris, by different publishers, in the year 1744, 

 one in 3 vols., 4, of which the title and collation are above given ; the other in C vols., 12, both 

 with the same titles, differing only in the breaking of the lines and in the publisher's im- 

 print. The collation of the 12 ed. here follows: [222.]

In this edition the title changes with the fifth volume, the title of vols. v and vi of this edi- 

 tion being the same as that of vol. iii of the 4 ed., save, of course, the publisher's imprint. 



The cetological matter is the same (as is the text in general) as that of the 4 ed. (q. v.), 

 and occurs in vol. v, pp. 217-220. 



Of ihe "Journal d'un Voyage," etc., there are two early English versions, each in 1 vol., 

 8 (London, 1701 and 1703, q. v.). There is a recent English translation of the "Histoire" by 

 Dr. J. G. Shea (8 vols., roy. 8, Xew York, 1865), but this does not include the "Voyage," 

 and consequently not the cetological matter. [228.]
