NOTE. 



It will be seen that the following pages are copied from the second 

 edition of Professor Hitchcock's 1 Report on the Geology, Botany 

 and Zoology of Massachusetts,' made to the Government of that 

 State. Most of the Catalogues have been greatly enlarged and cor- 

 rected — some of them nearly doubled — by their original authors, 

 since they were first printed : And they are now rendered so com- 

 plete and extensive, that the Publishers have presumed an impression 

 of them in the present form, would be acceptable to many in our in- 

 telligent community, who might not find it convenient to procure the 

 whole Report.
