At p. 286 three species of Physeter are mentioned under Aleut names, and at p. 288 six 

 species of Balaena. These are cited by Chamisso (Nov. Act. Acad. Caes. Leop.-Carol. Kat. 

 Curios., xii, 1, 1824, pp. 249-260), ^vho refers to volume and page of Pallas's work, showing 

 that this portion of the work, at least, was accessible to Chamisso as early as 1824, although 

 not commonly recognized as "published" till 1831. On this point see Coues, JBird* Co!. Val-
