4 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
lying directly north of Prince Albert Land, through the labours of 
Sabine; Armstrong has given us a good insight into that of Banks 
and Baring Land, lying to the westward; Franklin, Richardson, 
and Rae have made us conversant with the faunas of the northern 
shores of the American continent; whilst James Ross, M‘Clintock, 
and Walker have done the same for the land lying directly east of 
the area under consideration; consequently the observations of 
Mr. Anderson must possess especial interest for students of 
Arctic Zoology, as they connect the work already recorded from 
the north, east, and west of the Parry Archipelago. 
MaAmMALIA. 
Mr. Anderson’s notice of the mammalia is confined to a list of 
quadrupeds ascertained by him to inhabit Prince Albert Land. 
This is supplemented, however, by a few references in his 
catalogue of specimens sent to the Admiralty. I have not in any 
instance altered the nomenclature as given by him, and it may be 
remarked that he has used the synonyms of the ‘Fauna Boreali- 
Americana,’ of Richardson and Swainson, 1829. The species 
are as follows:—Lwpus griseus, Canis lagopus, Mustela erminea, 
Ursus maritimus, Cervus tarandus, and Ovibos moschatus. 
Arvicola hudsonius—A male specimen, entered in the 
catalogue of Mr. Anderson, was captured at Cambridge Bay, 
February 14th, 1853, another on March 8th, and three others 
during August of the same year. 
Arvicola trimucronatus.—Three specimens of this Vole, all 
males, were captured at Cambridge Bay during the month of 
August, 1853, This species was observed by Sir James Ross in 
considerable numbers on the coast of Boothia Felix; but I am 
not aware that its presence has been detected on the islands” 
to the north of the American continent by any other observer 
but Mr. Anderson. 
Lepus glacialis.— At Cambridge Bay in January, 1853, a male 
Hare was killed;. two young ones on June 29th and July 10th, of 
the same year. 
AVEs. 
In no instance have I altered the synonymy adopted by 
Mr. Anderson, and it will be observed that he has used that of 
Richardson and Swainson in their ‘Fauna Boreali-Americana,’
