 Globiocephalus macrorhynchus. Hector, Trans. Welling. Phil. 



Soc, Sept. 1869. 



Described by Dr J. G. Gray as the Large-headed Pilot 

 Whale, G. macrorhynchtis, from a specimen in the 

 Museum, Royal College of Surgeons, London, and 

 localised as inhabiting the South Seas. Sir James 

 Hector adopts the specific name and calls it the "Black 

 Fish of the South Seas." Flower, in his Catalogue 

 of Cetacea, states that the British Museum contains 

 a stuffed specimen with its skull, from the Cape of 

 Good Hope. The skull, he says, is distinguished from 

 G. melas by the premaxilla in the anterior half of 

 the rostrum completely covering the superior maxilla. 

 In the following specimens, presented by Sir J. Hector 

 to the University Museum in 1872, the premaxilla 

 does not in this respect differ materially from G. 

 melas. It is doubtful if this species should be 

 continued.
