"[Mr. Charles Pickering] copied and collated ... a large amount of manuscript notes on quadrupeds and birds, made on the voyage, and now for the first time published.  Much of the most valuable portion of the present volume has thus been contributed by this gentleman -- From the notes and observations of Mr. Titian R. Peale ... much also has been derived."--Introd.
