‘The next is a Cetacean of the family Delphinide, which I 
shall describe under the name 
Neomeris kurrachiensis. 
The characters of the genus are :—Dorsal fin none. Nose 
of skull short, rounded in front, flat and shelving above. 
Teeth numerous, compressed, nicked, acute, extending nearl 
the whole length of the jaw (Gray, ‘Seals and Whales,’ &c.). 
Neomeris phocenoides is the only species of the genus, and 
its dentition is given as +§ (Delphinus melas) or 7§ on each 
side. 
The species under notice has {$ teeth on each side, and 
there are besides a set of 3, which were scarcely visible through 
the gums, and situated out of the line of the other teeth in 
front of the jaws. In shape these 3 teeth are quite unlike the 
rest, being conical instead of flattened or compressed. 
The measurements of the animal taken in the flesh are as 
under :— 
inches.
