The "Journal", though rarely cited in zoological literature, is worthy of attention, con- 

 taining many intelligent observations in natural history, and especially in reference to birda 

 and Mammals. In regard to the latter, particularly important is the account of the Walrus 

 (pp. 38-43, with a cut), which gives weight and detailed measurements of a specimen taken; 

 also those of the Polar Bear (pp. 44-46, cut and measurements), and the Musk -Ox (pp. 249-233, 

 259, cut, measurements, external characters, and habits). [601.]
