The front free endpaper is inscribed by Pennant: 'The Places marked with Red Ink thus + denote what The Author of this History has presented me. A D 1756.'
The items presented by Pontoppidan apparently included 'Asbestos rock.. Conchae avatificae [barnacle].. Floy-fisk, or Flying-fish.. Sea-urchin'.
The work also contains various other marginal notes by Pennant.
