 ington and California.

 tralia.

Genus BERARDIUS Duvernoy, 1851 



Two allopatric species are recognized. The 

 North Pacific form differs from the Southern 

 Hemisphere form chiefly by its much larger 

 size. Possibly it should be regarded as only a 

 subspecies of the Southern Hemisphere form. 

 The taxonomy of this genus is under study by 

 J. C. Moore (Field Museum of Natural His- 

 tory). 



Berardius arnouxi Duvernoy, 1851 (southern 

 giant bottle-nose whale). Southern Ocean; 

 known from South Australia, New Zea- 

 land, Argentina, Falkland Islands, South 

 Georgia, South Shetlands, South Africa, 

 and off the Antarctic Peninsula.

 Pacific giant bottle-nose whale). North 

 Pacific fronn Japan and southern Cali- 

 fornia north to the Bering Sea. 



Genus HYPEROODON Lace'pede, 1804 



Two well-defined species are recognized, 

 one in the North Atlantic, the other in the 

 Southern Hemisphere. The occurrence of 

 Hyperoodon in the North Pacific has never 

 been verified, and most if not all published 

 records of its occurrence there are based on 

 misidentification of Berardius . Beaked whales 

 possibly referable to Hyperoodon are taken by 

 whalers off the Okhotsk Sea coast of Hokkaido, 

 but to date none have been examined by a 

 biologist (M. Nishiwaki, personal communica- 

 tion). 



Hyperoodon ampullatus Forster, 1770 (North 

 Atlantic bottle-nose whale). North Atlantic 

 from Davis Strait and Novaya Zennlya 



south to Rhode Island and the Mediter- 

 ranean Sea. 



Hyperoodon planifrons Flower, 1882 (flat- 

 headed bottle-nose whale). Southern 

 Ocean; known from Australia, New Zea- 

 land, Argentina, the Falkland Islands, 

 South Georgia, the South Orkney Islands, 

 South Africa, and off the coast of Ant- 

 arctica in the Pacific and Indian Ocean 

 sectors.
