'A considerable number of valuable Arctic birds, foxes, &c., has just been received by the Zoological Society from the territories of the Hudson's Bay Company [in Canada]...The birds consist of three fine specimens of the American Eagle Owl, five rare white Arctic Grouse, one Ruffed Grouse, and a young White-headed Eagle. The varieties of the foxes are the White Arctic, the Red, and the Silver; one specimen of the latter has recently died. Besides ten Foxes, there are two young Black Bears.
