renus, which was thrown ashore at Nice, on the 10th of Nov. 
_ 1736, where it is called Mular. He compared it with Clusius’ 
_ description of the Sperm Whale which was stranded on the coast 
of Holland, and observes that it has a dorsal fin, very small pec- 
torals, and other characters not noticed by Clusius; and he says 
it agrees in all pomts with the whale noticed by Ray (Syn. Pisce. 
14); which is extracted from Sibbald as above quoted. 
_ F. Cuvier, overlooking the reference to Clusius and Ray, and 
the characters, speaks thus of Bayer’s figure, “ Elle est en effet 
dun Cachalot; mais elle le rend de la maniére la moins fidéle.”’

‘ genus ; but the jaws are equal, and the mouth bent up at the 
angles to the eyes. He says it is called Grampus by the English. 
_ There is an etching of Van den Veld, of a “ Pot Walwesk op 
D oortwijek op Zee, 28 Dec. 1614,” which I think represents this 
_ Whale tribe have dorsal fins while they possess the cylindrical jaw 
like the Sperm Whale), as the Black-fish, but yet spout from 
the forehead or top of the head, and do not produce spermaceti.” 
[t is doubtful if this is not derived from Sibbald, for it can 
earcely refer to the Globiocephalus macrorhynchus, which ac- 
cording to Bennett, Nunn and others, is called the Black-fish by 
South Sea whalers. 
_ I formerly thought that the Azdlwk of O. Fabricius was iden- 
fical with the Balena microcephala of Sibbald, but Professor 
Eschricht observes, that it is most important, in the determina- 
tion of O. Fabricius’ synonyma, to attend to the Greenlanders’ 
ames, as they are most accurate cetologists; he observes (on 
‘the authority of Capt. Holbroll), ‘‘ that two of the animals which 
Fabricius referred to Physeter, viz. 1st, the ‘ Pernak,’ which he 
stalled P. Catodon, is probably, and 2nd, the ‘ Aidluik,’ called by 
‘iim P. microps (which Cuvier has thought might be D. gilo- 
biceps), is certainly, the Northern Sword-fish, Delphinus Orca.” 
—Kong. Danske Afhandl. xi. 136. 
_ Fabricius’ description of the ‘ Aidluik ’ will do for Orea gladi- 
vator ; except that he calls it black, and does not mention the very 
remarkable white marks of that species, and he only described the 
lower jaw as toothed. Now the upper teeth of Orca are not de- 
‘eiduous. It is more probably a Grampus. As far as I can trans- 
ate the Danish, it appears that the Black-fish or Balena micro- 
phala of Sibbald, which I thought might be Azdluik, has entirely 
scaped the notice of Professor Eschricht.
