S. BellinghauserC s Voyage ^ — The Russian voyage of disco- 
very towards the South Polej did not reach so high a latitude as 
Captain Weddel, whose voyage is noticed at page 146. ; for the 
chief of the expedition, Captain Bellinghausen, says, We con- 
tinued our cruise to the south-east, sailing between large ‘masses 
of ice ; but^ notwithstanding all our efforts, we never couid pass 
the 70° of south latitude, and this only in one place. In all 
Gthers, we could only advance 69 g®”.

range of distribution of fossil mammiferous animals.
