The copy examined of this Supplement to the Appendix of Parry's Pirst 

 Voyage is bouDd together with the Appendix to Parry's Second Voyage. A 

 good deal of confusion exists in citing the zoological matter of Parry's several 

 Voyages, and -writers may he cautioned that they can hardly be too careful to 

 Bay what they mean, and, if possible, to handle the volumes instead of guessing 

 at second-hand. The present article, as far as the Birds go, is by Capt. E. Sabine ; 

 it occupies pp. cxciii-ccx, and treats of 32 spp., with descriptive matter, field- 

 notes, and some little synonymy. It refers to the same collection upon which 

 was based E. Sabine's Memoir on the Birds of Greenland, in vol xii of the 

 Trcmt. lAnn. Soe., 1818, q. v.
