 in leaving a portion of it imperfect, because Mr. Geo. Sims's personal 

 inspection of the watershed between * Dee ' and * Moray ' will, 

 we expect, make up for all deficiencies in this respect when he 

 comes to treat of the Faunal area of Dee — a volume, the MS. of 

 which is presently being prepared.
