MAMMALIA;
JOHN RICHARDSON, M .D ., F .R .S ., &c.
T h e opportunities which a voyage of discovery offers to the naturalist, of
becoming acquainted with the animals of the countries that are visited, are
necessarily very limited; the stay in port is generally short, communication
with the shore often inconvenient, and frequently dangerous to small parties ;
and as the crew and officers can seldom be spared from the necessary business
of the vessel, excursions in-land are rarely attempted. Under such circumstances,
the large collection of objects of Natural History made on the present
voyage are highly creditable to the Commanding Officer, Mr. Lay the
Naturalist, and other members of the expedition. Mr. Collie, the Surgeon,
is particularly deserving of commendation for the great attention he paid to
Zoology during the voyage, evinced by his copious and interesting notes on
the anatomy of the various animals he dissected,* and an ample collection
