602 REPORT— 18G3. 



maturely closed invpstigations of Dr. Kennerley are only the heginning of s 

 rich hiirvost. Dr. (ieor^co Suckley, late assistunt-surjjfeon of the U. S. armv, 

 was appointed to complete the natural-history work, after his lamtntcii 

 death. A complete list of the species collected will be foiind in the fifth column 

 of the .Vancouver and Californian table, v. infra, par. 112. The particulars 

 of station, &c., and all the knowled^^o which the laborious explorer had col- 

 lected, are lost to science. It is quite possible that some of the species here 

 accredited to Pu'j:et Sound were obtained in neighbouring localities in thu 

 Straits of T)e Fuca. The specimens are in Iteautifully fresh condition, antl 

 of most of them the animals were preserved in alcohol. The following are the 

 shells first brought from the Vancouver district by the American N. W. 

 Boundary Commission, the diagnoses of new species being (according to 

 custom) first published in the Proceedings of the Ac. Nat. Sc. Philadelphia.
