borliood, for various fervices, in tranflacing from the German feveral 

 pafiages which appear in the folio v;ing pages. 



I have been often reproached for not giving a map with t\\tA7'£fk Zoology. 

 I have now complied with the defire : and^ given two, engraven by that 

 excellent artift Mr. /F'///ii?;K P<^/»?^r, the engraver of thofe in Captain 

 Cook's laft voyage j and of an admirable map of the American and Afiatic 

 part, formed by the ntuch-lamented, the late Captain James King. 

 Thefe maps have been the foundation of mine ; with certain additions 

 fiwm that which illuftrates the voyage of Lord Mulgrave towards the 

 north pole.. I have taken the liberty of making fome flight alterations j- 

 and have made the addition of feveral names,, peculiarly adapted to the 

 ■work tliey are defigned to explain.. The coaft from the ley Cafe to the 

 mouth of the Coffer Mine River yXi layed down from imagination, and the- 

 fkme from thence to Greenland^ except. in a few places where it had been, 

 flightly feen by navigators. A little to the eaft of the Coffer Mine River,, 

 the fea is made to advance fomewhat more inland, on a conjefture of Mr„- 

 Hearne'^, that a river which falls into the Coffer Mine River from the 

 eaftj is much nearer to the fea than the mouth of the Coffer River itfelf. 

 I have been obliged to go far lower than lat. 60, which I profefledly de- 

 figned to limit my northern enquiries: but had I, in my maps, rigidly ad- 

 hered to that defign, I muft have omitted great part oi- America^ the glorious - 

 field of the difcoveries of our immortal Cook. Thofe of the Riijjians are 

 attended to, and nothing neglefted that could fling light on the attempts- 

 of this bufy age.
