[68] Mr Steller has made the following scale of its cry:

For a further account of this bird, I must refer the reader to

[74] Few readers, it is probable, will require the information, that the
work of Mr Pennant, here alluded to, was published not very long after
the appearance of this voyage, viz. in 1784. In consequence of this
circumstance, it might be thought unnecessary to insert the table or
catalogue of animals now spoken of. But, on the whole, there appeared
more propriety in risking the offence of repetition with those who
possess Mr P.'s work, than in disappointing those who do not.--E.

[75] The quadrupeds and birds mentioned in this part of the voyage are
marked in this list with an asterisk.

History of Birds, published by Mr Latham, surgeon in Dartford, Kent.

[77] I never saw this, but it is mentioned by Mr Ellis. I had omitted it in
my zoologic part.

the Kamtschadales.--Discovered by the Russians.--Abstract of their
History.--Numbers.--Present State.--Of the Russian Commerce in

The present inhabitants of Kamtschatka are of three sorts. The natives, or
Kamtschadales; the Russians and Cossacks; and a mixture of these two by
marriage.

Mr Steller, who resided sometime in this country, and who seems to have
taken great pains to gain information on this subject, is persuaded, that
the true Kamtschadales are a people of great antiquity, and have for many
ages inhabited this peninsula; and that they are originally descended from
the Mungallians, and not either from the Tungusian Tartars, as some, or the
Japanese, as others have imagined.

The principal arguments, by which he supports these opinions, are, That
there exists not among them the trace of a tradition of their having
migrated from any other country; that they believe themselves to have been
created and placed in thi
