ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 



Species described from photog-raphs of bones are at any rate much 

 better established than the many of Dolphins and Whales which the 

 French zoologists have described from figures taken when the ani- 

 mals were swimming in the sea at a greater or less distance from 

 the ship, which encumber our catalogues ; for they are described 

 from tangible natural bodies that can be identified when more per- 

 fect specimens are obtained.
