its base, the tail is clothed with soft fur; beyond this, on the lower surface, is 
a pad of 13 large scales similar to those found in Anomalurus; and at the outer

Proc. Am. Philos. Soc., XIV, 363, Jan.-June, 1875. 
Type: Agabelus porcatus Cope, from the Miocene of Cumberland County, New

muzzle of a Priscodelphinus without teeth,’’ etc.

Agaphelus Corr, 1868. Cete, Baleenidee.

caudal vertebra was entirely smooth without knob or fin, or scar of one, hence 
I suppose the fin to have been situated as in Sibbaldius and at the posterior 
fourth of the length . . . the gular and thoracic regions were seen to be 
entirely without ridges or plic:e of any kind, but as smooth as any other part 
of the body, or as the throat of a right whale, B. cisarctica Cope" (CopE).
