Ceryle alcyon of authors. 



''Gulls:' 



Allen, ii. 189.— Rees, 4to, 480.— Rees, 8vo, iii. 57.— M'Vickar, ii. 359. 



Four kinds are alluded to ; none of them described. 



" The Cormorant.'''' 



Allen, ii. 189.— Rees, 4to, 480.— Rees, 8vo, iii. 57.— M' Vickar, ii. 359. 



Graculus dilophus of authors. 



This identification is permissible, from the authors' remark that the 

 Cormorant is not different from that found on the Potomac River. 



" The Loon:' 



Allen, ii. 389.- Rees, 4to, 480.- Rees, Svo, iii. 57.— M'Vickar, ii. 359. 



Two species of " Loon," one of them apparently a Grebe, are noted, but 

 neither of them is recognizably described. 



" White Brant:' 



Allen, ii. 190.— Rees, 4to, 481.— Rees, 8vo, iii. 58.— M'Vickar, ii. 359. 

 Anser hi/perhoreus, Pallas, Spic. Zool. viii. 1767, pi. 05, and of authors 

 generally. 



Very fully described in this place, and also earlier in the narrative 

 (Allen, i. 206, &c.). 



'^Broivn Brant"

Anser alhifrons of American writers. 



Anser gamheli, Hartl., R. M. Z. 1852, 7. 



Like the other Brant, this species is described at length and with 

 accuracy. 



" Geese." 



Allen, ii. 192.— Rees, 4to, 482.— Rees, 8vo, iii. 6L— M'Vickar, ii. 360. 



These are said to be " either the large or small kind "; by the former 

 being evidently meant the Bernicla canadensis, while the other refers, it 

 is to be supposed, to B. hutchensii. Neither is well described.
