86 CETACEA. 
M. Schlegel (Faun. Japon. 25) described a dolphin found on 
the coast of Japan, and called Sakamata kuzira. It is said to” 
have a high dorsal, and to be black with white spots on the bell 7 
back and sides, near the pectoral fin. The eyelids and lips a 
purple, the latter often white-spotted ; the head is rounded, the 
upper jaw pointed and toothless; the lower short and a 
and toothed. : 
Schlegel, who refers this species to D. Orca, says the wait. 
ing teeth im the upper jaw is a mistake; but it is probably a- 
Grampus, which often wants them in that j jaw. Ido not see 
why one part of the description should be relied on and not thm . 
other. 
In the Museum of the College of Surgeons is a skull (No. 1138, 
Tlunterian) apparently belonging to another species of this 
enus. q 
, The teeth are 12-12, small, conical, curved, very acute. Nose 
rather concave on the sides ; intermaxillaries nearly as wide as — 
the jaws. Lower jaw obliquely truncated in front. Length, en- 
tire, 24 inches; of nose 12, of tooth-line 7, of lower jaw 19 ~ 
width at notch 9, of middle of beak 63, at orbits 15} inches. 
9. GLOBIOCEPHALUS. 
Head round, forehead very prominent. Teeth conical, large — 
only on the front half of the jaws; deciduous in the old one. — 
Upper jaw largest? Pectoral narrow, linear-ovate, low down. 4 
Dorsal faleate, about the middle of the back. 
Skull flattened and concave in front of the blower; nose broad, © 
flattened, rugose above ; intermaxillary bones very broad, cover- 
ing the greater part of the upper surface of the upper jaws; the — 
hinder wing of the jaw-bone horizontal and bent up on the edge ~ 
over the orbits, and slightly expanded and reflexed just im front © 
of the orbit notch. 
The sucking young have no visible teeth ; the adults have teeth 
in each jaw, but the aged individuals have generally lost them in 
both.— Fleming.
