Chap. VIII. Of Fish and Shells, pp. 705-712. At pp. 706, 707 is a short account of "several 

 sorts of whales," to wit: 1. Sebio, "the largest fish of the Whale kind, probably Balcena, 

 mysticetus, 2. Awo sangi or kokadsura, a small gray or ash-colored whale, probably Hhachi- 

 anectes glaums, 3. Nagass, "twenty to thirty fathoms long," 4. Sotoo-kadsura, 5. Moko, 

 "three or four fathoms in length," 6. Iwasikura, "that is, sardin's-eater," doubtless a 

 Balcenoptera. The Satsifiko, also mentioned, may be an Orca, but as described is certainly a, 

 myth. 



The original work, of which merely an extended abstract is here given, was published 

 in 1727 (London, fol.). The Appendix, containing the observations on Ambergris, is omitted.
