We find here again the carious myth about the Indians of Florida capturing Whales by 

 getting astride them and plugging their blowholes with conical pieces of wood, etc., here bor- 

 rowed from Duhamel. See 1590. ACOSTA, J. DE, and 1602. DE BRY. [548.]

This is a joint production by Virey and Desmarest, written mainly, however, by "Virey, 

 under the words "Baleine," "Baleinoptera," and under the same words with various specific 

 modifications, signed respectively "Virey" and "Desm." In the list of authors facing the 

 title-page of the several volumes of the Nouv. Diet., etc., the articles on "Les Quadru- 

 pedes, les Cetaces et les Animaux fossiles," are said to be written by Desmarest, and Virey is 

 stated to have written "Les articles generaux de 1'Hist. nat., particulierement de 1'Homme, 

 des Animaux, de leur structure, de leur physiologie et de leurs facultes." In the following 

 collation each author's share in the work is indicated.
