Page 70, 1. 12 fr. top, for Lebois read Seboois. — P. 72, 1. 5 fr. bot. for Kennehunh 

 read Kennebeck. — P. 204, 1. 9 fr. top, for Siberian, read Silurian. — In a part of the 

 impression, the drawing on p. 206 was accidentally inverted. 



The writer of the article, "extracted from the Diary of a Naturalist," and pub- 

 lished in the October number of the Journal for 1836, has since discovered several 

 mistakes, which he wishes to correct. On page 1 it is stated, that the " first steam- 

 boat built on the western waters was the Washington" — he has since ascertained 

 that a small boat was built some years before at Brownsville, and went down the 

 river, but did not return : the Washington was built at Wheeling, Va. On page 64 

 it is stated, that Cols. Williamson and Crawford were engaged in the massacre of 

 the Christian Indians at Gnadenhutten, which is a mistake as regards Col. Craw- 

 ford, and probably arose from the fact of his being engaged with Col. Williamson 

 in the affair at Sandusky plains in May following, where he lost his life. Colonel 

 Crawford was a humane and excellent man, and abhorred that wicked transaction. 

 The " legend of Brady's hill," at page 20, he is sorry to say, he fears has been con- 

 founded with some other adventure, as Capt. Brady's descendants affirm that he 

 was never a prisoner to the Indians.
