Grampus," Hunterian, and n. 1136, "the skull of a large Gram- 

 pus," Hunterian. It appears to be the skull which Mr. Owen 

 gives the measurement of, under the name of D. Melas, in his 

 account of Phoccena crassidens, in the work on British Fossil 

 Mammalia.

M. Siebold brought with him a figure of a very young speci- 

 men, 5 feet 6 inches long, of this species, made by M. Villeneuve, 

 which is copied in the Fauna Japonic a, and a complete skeleton. 



M. Temminck regards it as undoubtedly the same as the Eu- 

 ropean, but yet allows that there are some differences between it 

 and the adult specimen observed on the European shores. The 

 forehead is less swollen, and the pectoral fins are rather larger 

 than in G. Svineval of Europe. This species is called in Japan 

 Naiso-gota. 



The Japanese distinguish two other species: 1. Sibo golo, 

 which is purple, with a white spot behind the dorsal fin, and the 

 lower jaw furnished with many plaits. 2. Ohanan golo, black, 

 with a larger muzzle and more spacious mouth ; the dorsal | from 

 head, back edge before the middle ; pectoral from head ; pec- 

 toral | length; length of skull 15'0; beak 6'9 ; width at 

 notch 4-9. 



The Delphinus globiceps (Grant, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1833, 65), 

 brought by Capt. Delvitte from the North Pacific, which Schlegel 

 thought might be this species, is a species of Orca. 



5. GLOBIOCEPHALUS MACRORHYNCHUS. The SOUTH-SEA 



BLACK-FISH. 



Uniform black. Nose of skull short and broad, rounded in 

 front, nearly as broad in the middle as at the preorbital notch. 

 Teeth subcylindrical, f . Lower jaw rounded in front. Length 

 16, rarely 20 feet.
