This work is a critical commentary upon that portion of Anderson's " Kaohrichten von 

 Island, Gronland," etc., relating to Iceland. The matter relating to Cetacea is not of high 

 importance. 



This French version, as the translator himself avows, is more or less abridged, and very 

 freely rendered. — Vol. i is wrongly paged from p. 264 to the end, through an omission in the 

 pagination of 9 numbers (265-272 inclusive). [291.]

Krasheninnikof's work is of special importance from its detailed account of the Sea Cow 

 (Rhytina borealis), its habits, abundance, and products. 



Grieve's version is a greatly abridged and condensed translation, but was the first and tho 

 only one prior to 1768, when a French translation diiect from the original Eussian appeared 

 at Paris (q. v.), far superior to Grieve's. Of Grieve's abridged English version there appeared 

 a German translation in 1766, by J. T. Kohler (Lemgo), a French, by M. E[idous] (Lyon), in 

 1767 (q. v.), and also, it is said, a Dutch (Amsterdam), in 1770. See especially in/rd, KitA-
