Naturat HisToRY THAT WERE COLLECTED DURING THE 
VOYAGE. 
MAMMALIA. 
1. Musreva ZoritLta. Desm :* 
The skunk. This animal was found abundantly on the coast 
of Patagonia, between Monte Video and Cape Gregory, at the 
eastern entrance of the Strait of Magalhaens. It appeared to be 
the same species throughout the whole extent of the coast.— Mus: 
Zool. Soc. 
2. Musrexa Lurris.—Lin. 
Lutra marina, Steller. Erxleb. Harlau ; Enhydra marina, 
Fleming. 
The sea otter exists, but not very plentifully, on the coast of 
Tierra del Fuego; we saw very few. The Fuegian Indians hunt 
them with dogs which are trained for the purpose—Museum 
Zool. Soc. 
3. Canis. 
The dogs belonging to the Fuegian Indians are certainly of the 
domesticated kind, originally obtained, probably, from the Spanish 
settlements at Buenos Ayres; generally they resemble the Esqui- 
maux breed, but are much more diminutive in size. 
4, Canis VULPEs. 
Two if not three distinct species of the fox were brought home ; 
one, of a small size, was thought to be a novelty ; the other, perhaps, 
was only remarkable for its large size. Mr. Vigors thought the 
small one was quite new; the last is perhaps C. cinereo argenteus.

5. FELIS PUMA. 
Several were seen: a skeleton was found on the shores of the 
Strait, supposed to be one of the above species.
