For a further account of this bird, I must refer the reader to Krascheninnikoff, vol. ii. part 4. [69] Anas picta, capita pulchre fasciato. Steller. [70] Falco leucocephalus. [71] Vultur albiulla. [72] Mustela lutris. [73] English translation, p. 59. [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. [76] The birds, which are not described by Linnaeus's, are referred to the 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. SECTION VII. General Account of Kamtschatka, continued.--Of the Inhabitants.--Origin of the Kamtschadales.--Discovered by the Russians.--Abstract of their History.--Numbers.--Present State.--Of the Russian Commerce in Kamtschatka.--Of the Kamtschadale Habitations, and Dress.--Of the Kurile Islands.--The Koreki.--The Tschutski. 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.
