In the "HuitiSme Lottro " occurs important cetoloj;ical matter, as followa: De la Pficlio 

 du Loup Marin, do la V.acho M.arino, dii Maraonin, & dcs Balcines, pp. 143-149 (Mar.'iouina, 

 pp. 147-149 ; Balelnes, p. 140). The account relates mostly to the "Marsouin blanc" [Beluga, 

 catodoti] and its capture, from which it appears that there were two points, a few miles bo- 

 low Quebec, in the Saint Lawrence Eiver, at which these animals wore then taken in consid- 

 erable numbers. A few "Whales wore still cauRht at the iriouth of the T5ay of Saint Lawrence.

In this edition the title changes with tho fifth volume, the title of vols, v and vi of this edi- 

 tion being the same as that of vol. iii of the 4° ed., save, of course, the publisher's imprint. 



The cetological matter is the same (as is the text in general) as that of tho 4° ed. (q. v.), 

 and occurs in vol. v, pp. 217-220. 



Of fho " Journal d'un Voyage," etc., there are two early English versions, each in 1 vol., 

 8° (London, 17C1 and 1703, q. v.). There is a recent English translation of the "Histoire " by 

 Dr. J". Gr. Shea (8 vols., roy. 8°, New York, 1805), but this does not include the "Voyage," 

 and consequently not the cetological matter. [223.]
