 This memoir is practically a 

 monograph of the Ziphioid whales 

 known to occur in the waters of 

 the United States, no less than 7 

 species, belonging to 4 genera, 

 occurring here. Five species are 

 found on the Atlantic coast and 

 3 (including 1 of the Atlantic 

 species) on the Pacific coast of 

 the United States. The National 

 Museum is comparatively rich in 

 material belonging to this group 

 of rare whales, no less than 

 8 specimens out of 14 known to 

 have been taken in North Ameri- 

 can waters being preserved here. 

 Of the 3 rare genera, Mesoplodon, 

 Ziphius, and Berardius, the Na- 

 tional Museum possesses about 

 one-fourth of the material at 

 present available in all the mu- 

 seums of the world.
