Gete und Sirenia passim. Die Ordnung Natantia enthalt 2 Familien (Sirenia und Cete), 9 

 G-attungen und 47 Arten (p. 52). Sirenia, 1 Arten; Cete, 40 Arten (p. 53). 



Of the "40" spp. of Cete enumerated in his several tables of distribution a considerable 

 proportion are nominal, they including such names as Monodon microcephalies and M. an- 

 dersonianus. Ancylodon anarnak, Physeter orthodon, cylindricus, trumpo, etc., Delphinus 

 senedetta, ventricosus, feres, etc. ; in addition to a Delphinus bidens we have Hyperodon re- 

 tusus. There is also a ' ' Manatus ? Simia," a Manatus fluvialis, and M. Sphaerurus, in addition 

 to M. australis. There is also a Rytina cetacea as well as a Rytina borealis. The lists are, so 

 far at least as the Cete and Sirenia are concerned, worthless conglomerations, which, as in 

 the case of other groups treated in the same connection, appear to contain some names coined 

 for the occasion, without descriptions or textual references. The paper may be safely ig- 

 nored so far as Cetology is concerned. [544.]
