Types: Two females, skeletons only, one of which "has been forwarded

 Mus., 178: 575), there is no record of the specimen having been in the 

 U.S. National Museum.

 California. 



Distribution: North Pacific from Bering and Okhotsk Seas to Baja 

 California, Mexico, on the east, Japan on the west. 



Remarks: Tomilin (1957) is followed in recognizing bairdi as the 

 northern Pacific representative of Delphinus delphis.
