Text notes the great numbers of passenger pigeons, Ectopistes migratorius, found in North America. They were used for food and oil, and large numbers of them were killed at once. The Carolina pigeon, turtle dove, or Columba carolinensis was also depicted by Audubon. Thomas Pennant was a Welsh naturalist and antiquary. Peter Mazell was a British engraver of flowers and animals. Title for v. [2] and [3] reads: Arctic zoology. Imprint is the same as in v. [1].
