32 STUDIES OF TASMANIAN CETACEA. 



served in Cetacean skulls as prepared for museum speci- 

 mens. In dealing with the Tasmanian Dolphins such data 

 as we ha,ve collected will be passed in review. 



(2) In times past the Ziphoid whales must have visited 

 the shores of Tasmania, much as they do to-day, and it is 

 of interest to note that, in this connection, the rniocene 

 strata of Table Oape has yielded an arm bone and some 

 mutilated vertebrae of one of these whales. Althouojh ob- 

 viously nearer to Zip/iiuft than to the genus Memplodon, 

 it does not fit in with either genus, and it may be pos- 

 sible to extract more material from this specimen than 

 that already published in the proceedings of the Royal 

 Society of Tasmania in 1913. For the present, it is of 

 interest to note that these ancient whales have a place 

 upon our Tasmanian lists that relate to the Natural History 

 of the jDast.
