 one plate and 6 figs. 

 A jaw found in the neighbourhood of Aix-les-Bains. P. Couloni is 

 the nearest allied Neocomian form. The most marked character of 

 P. heterodon is the arrangement of the vomerine teeth, which, con- 

 sisting at first of a single row of large ellipsoidal teeth, suddenly give 

 place, after the sixth in the row, to two pairs of cylindrical teeth.

Reference is made to the description of the Pentuan Stream-works 



by Mr. Colenso, from which it appears that the bones of the Avhale 



Avere found in a bed of sea-sand overlying silt containing remains of 



boar, deer, and oxen, and human skulls; lower down were the traces of 



an old forest, and finally the tin-ground resting on killas. The peculiar 



form of the jaw and the proportions of the other bones are different 



from those of any species of whale described, with one exception, that 



of a skeleton found in the Swedish island of Griiso. The dimensions 



of the bones agree so nearly with those of the Swedish specimen that 



no doubt the Pentuan whale belongs to the same species, Eschrichtius 



robustus. C. L. N. F.
