Systematic names are given to 25 species, 7 of them new. Bonnaterre's memoir, although 

 essentially a compilation, became at once the authority on the subject, and was so recognized 

 till the appearance of Lacepede's work in 1804. "With one exception (Physeter macrocephalus) 

 the figures of the animals are all copies from those of previous authors, notably Sibbald, An- 

 derson, and Hunter. The memoir, however, may be taken as the best presentation of the 

 general subject up to that date, and is especially important for the considerable number of 

 new names introduced. [407. J
