Figure 129. — Stranded striped dolphins. Note the distinctive black stripes II eye to flipper, 2) eye to anus, and 3) (on top animal) from black behind 

 dorsal fin forward towards but not reaching the head. Some workers contend that striped dolphins are separable into two species, depending on 

 whether the eye-to- flipper stripe has one {SteneUa coeruleoalba) or two (S. styx) components. Others contend that the two belong to the same species 

 (S. coeruleoalba). Striped dolphins have from 43 to 50 teeth in each upper and lower jaw. {Photos from Japan by W. E. Scheinll [top] and from Indi-
