NATURAL HISTORY.

For the catalogue and description^ of the quadrupeds, 
reptiles, and shells, I am under obligation to Mr. J. E. Gray, 
of the British Museum. Mr. Vigors has kindly assisted me 
with the use of his collection, and his valuable advice with 
respect to the few specimens of birds that were preserved ; 
and Mr. W. S. Mac Leay has furnished me with a very va- 
luable description of my entomological collection. I am 
also indebted to Mr. Cunningham for his remarks upon the 
botany of the country ; to Mr. Brown, for his description 
of a new tree from King George the Third’s Sound ; and 
lastly to Dr. Fitton, for his kindness in drawing up for me 
a very interesting geological notice from the specimens that 
have been presented to the Geological Society of London, of 
which he is one of the most active and scientific members.
