Of the Fish of North Carolina, pp. 215-249. The cetological matter occupies pp. 215-226. 

 Pages 215-220, including the first half of the latter, appear to relate in a general and rather 

 vague way to the Eight Whale of the North Atlantic (Balcena cisarctica, Cope), but beyond 

 a few particulars respecting their capture near Ocacock Island, there is nothing of much 

 value. The two pages next following are merely a paraphrase of Lawson's account of differ- 

 ent "sorts of "Whales ; " there then follow two paragraphs of original matter, the latter treat- 

 ing of "the Porpoise, or Sea-Hog." The next reference to Cetaceans is at p. 226, which is 

 devoted to an account of "the Dolphin," and is also new matter.
