This edition foUowed immediately after the first Eoglish version of 3 vols. 8vo, 

 1170-1771. " No circamstance interesting to natural history or to any other part 

 of literature has been omitted." The illastratious, as well as Forster's notes, 

 are additional to the original Swedish. Kalm was a good observer, and told 

 what he saw in a straightforward simple way. The book is fall of zoological 

 matter passim, in which ornithology is fairly represented, not under any special 

 head; and these accounts are among the bases of several Linn£ean species, 

 though largely anticipated by Cateaby and Edwards. Among the species noticed 

 are the Bluebird, Catbird, Crow, Gull, Hummingbird, Maize-thief (AgeUeits), 

 Martin, Mockingbird, Partridge, "Wild Pigeon, Cardinal Redbird, Snow Bunt- 

 ing, Ptarmigan, Swallow (with editor's eaxursus on the subaqueous torpidity of 

 these birds), Titmouse, Turkey, "Whippoorwill, "Woodpeckers (list of the latter,
