AUDUBON.



                 ADDENDA.
  Mandeville, mentioned in the early part
of this work as the probable birth place of
Audubon, is an ancient and picturesque village
on Lake Pontchartrain, within easy distance of
New Orleans. Popular tradition there locates
the house still standing, where the naturalist
was born, and claims that it once formed a
portion of the historic residence where Louis
Philippe was entertained with such magnifi-
cent hospitality by Mandeville de Marigny, a
wealthy and aristocratic creole, and which was
called " Fontainebleau" by the royal exile in
memory of his beloved France.
