Isham's own observations, including mention of 39 species of birds, but only six of the above species, were not formally published until 1949 (Rich 1949). Following up on Isham's collections, the Hudson's Bay Company in 1770 requested that its employees make a concerted effort to send more specimens back to England (Williams 1969, 1978). In 1771, Andrew Graham sent 64 skins of 39 species from Severn, aug- mented by 17 skins of seven species from Humphrey Marten at Albany, 17 skins of eight species from Moses Norton at Churchill, and two skins from Fer- dinand Jacobs and surgeon Thomas Hutchins at York.
