Dr. Godmau was born at Annapolis, Mil., Dec. 20, 1794, and died Apr. 17, 1830. His pria- 

 cipal work, "American Natural History,'' is devoted to Mammals, as is well known. The 

 origmal edition, in 3 vols. 8vo., was published, vols, i, ii, 1826, Philadelphia, H. C. Carey and 

 I. Lea, and vol. iii, 1828, Philadelphia, Carey, Lea, and Carey. Tliis was reissued in 1831, Phila- 

 delphia, Stoddart and Athertoii, without alteration, doubtless from the original plates. In 

 1836 appeared the third edition, as here cited, in two vols. ; snb.stantially the same as the ori- 

 ginal, as to main text, but with biographical sketch prefixed to vol. i, and the "Eambles" 

 afiSxed to vol. ii. This third edition was reissued in 1860, Philadelphia, Uriah Hunt and Son, 

 apparently without alteration, though with new title-page. I have handled all four of these 

 issues. 



The ' ' Rambles ' ' are an incomplete series of sketches, composed by the authoi' on his death- 

 bed, and appeared first in a weekly journal published in Philadelphia ; but I have never been 

 able to see the original articles. They were first added to this 1836 edition of thi^ ■ ' Natural 

 History," and reappear in the 1860 reissue. Nos. x-xii of the "Rambles," pp. 325-337 of both 

 the 1836 and the 1860 editions, are devoted to the natural history of Cormis americanus ; and 

 these sketches are, upon the whole, the besti account we possess of the habits and traits of 

 the bird.
