MATHEW CAREY,
At No. 118, Market Jtreet,
A Large nod Valuable
Peale's Museum,
HAS Lately received • number of article? ;
arnc.ng which are the. following : That
reinaskable bird called the Cut-water, or fcif-
ars-hill; The Avofette, commonly called the
Shoe-make*, because of its bill refetnbling a
crooked awl—The Long-legs, commonly call
ed the Black-bet, having perhaps the longed legs,
in proportion to the fire of the bird, of any of
he feathered tribi.—The Storm-finch, common-
1/ called mother Cary's chicken—The Sea
fwallow, and various Gulls ; besides
ol C«anfs, Curlews, Snipes, &c.
Tht fcuil of a Whale and one of its Vertebres.
An Indian hatchct made of chiyftal : It is
curious that those uninformed wild people, hav-
ing very little knowledge of the aits, and being
ignorant even of the existence of iron and steel,
ihould be able to form such hard fubftanccs in
to fanciful forms as this, and other Indian ma-
uif<>£tures now in the Museum,
A lignified Quince : The specimen (hews
what a rctnukable effetta dry warm situation
has on fruit. It is now about 8 years since it
was gathered ; and it was a real quince, now be
come wood, at leall in appearance.
Presented by Mn. Man foil of Charleftown,
S. C.—a tool used by the Otabeitans in making
their bark cloth, by pounding the bark on this
nftruntent of wood, it produces the ribs which
referable threads : the perfe&ly straight and
equal lines madt in (his extreme hard wood, by
men without the use of iron,are curious & won
derful.
Alio, a rope made of grass, part of the tigg
ing of a vessel of Kamfkatka.
Presented by Dr. Hall, of Lewis-town, a Squib
in fpirils : when this fi(h was toupd, a number
ot (tones were appended to firings or ligaments
that projected from the front of ita head,whtch
oicdfioiu-d a conjecture, as it is not furnifhed
with fufficient fins to resist the violence of the
tide and currents, that it faftened with these li
gaments on whatever it found at the bottom \ so
that the flones answered the purpofeof anchors
and the ligamentsof a glutinous dicky nature,
that of cables. Some of the Hones are in the
fa*ne phial.
A collision of Minerals tand other Foflils-
a r e now difplaycd in drawers covered with glass
and in a mode which willfceure them from de
rangement. To each specimen are affixed refe
ren; es to a book of description.*. This manage
ment of specimens of the Fossil kingdom, len
ders this part of the Museum very convenient
and fatisfa£fory,and great attention will be paid
to the fuftematical order of them, and in mak
ing the nect ffary t flays of each : Also in giving
in a concise manner, the various uses they are
applied to; thereby rendering them the more
interesting so the public.
A Living Elk, of 2 years old, is just receiv
ed. By the account which monf. Buffon gives
of the Elk, it. appears that he was not acquaint
ed with this American animal; he particularly
omits alt notice of the curious apertures adjoin
ing the eyes of this Elk.

Of A rs, Sciences, and Mifcellaneoui

Miscellaneous articles, illuitrated with Twen

As a number of families are frill in the
country,. and it is not genet ally known who

of the fubfenbers to call or fend for their vo
lumes, that they may be supplied as early as
poilible.
The tenth volume of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public ; but as it makes
its appearance in an imperfett Itate, some ac
count of the reason of that imperfection lliould
be uiven. On the Brh of September last, the
Publifiier had the misfortune of having his
Printing-office burnt down by a fire which
broke out in the neighbourhood, and a great
quantity of his printing materials deft roved,
and among other articles, the figures, wit 1«
which he was printing the tablf.i of lo
garithms, belonging to the prelent volume,
were melted down by the violence of the fire.
As a supply of these could not be immediately
obtained, he was under the necessity of pub
li(hing the volume without rhe'e tables; but
hopes he Avail be able to publish them with the
next volume which is now in confidcrable for-
wardnefs,
The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
exprefling his grateful acknowledunients to
the generous public, for the very liberal pa
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame time he takes the li
berty of representing to such of the subscribers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necessity of
punctuality, both in-taking up the volumes ai
early as poflrble after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the sub
scribers having got only one, two, three,
volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid.
Thus the work hangs in all its different stages
from the commencement; and though the im
portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles xjnp/id lays the Publiiher under
very serious embarraflment,and deprives him
of the ufeof many Thoufands«f Dollars which
at this time would be of very essential service.
For these reasons the Publiiher finds himfelt
under the neceflity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but only to those who
take and pay to the time of publication.
