The future development of our knowledge of this genus will be 

 watched with much interest by cetologists. At present there is noth- 

 ing to add to Gray's original description, and no additional specimens 

 have been discovered. 



I concur in Gray's opinion that the two typical skulls are clearly 

 allied to Lagenorhynchus cJectra, and it may be found iiecessary event- 

 ually to include Fcresa in that genus.
