Lincolnshire (in a wood called South Wood, once noted for Martens, belonging 
to Mr. Thomas Drake, of Stainfield Hall), but the species was not ascertained, 
or at least not stated. Perhaps this is the second specimen alluded to by 
Mr. Winn. Buta Pine Marten was trapped in the parish of Riley, North 
Lincolnshire, in 1865, as recorded by Mr. Cordeaux (Zool. 1866, p. 242), 
who refers to it as the second captured in that locality.—Eb.] 
WHITE-BEAKED Do.PHIN aT YaRMourad.—On the 25th August last 
I saw on the beach at Yarmouth a very beautiful White-beaked Dolphin, 
Delphinus albirostris, which had been captured by some fishermen in their 
nets the previous night. In form and coloration it very closely resembled 
Mr. Clark’s specimen taken at Lowestoft in March, 1876, and described and 
figured in the ‘ Proceedings of the Zoological Society’ for that year (p. 686). 
Although of the same sex (female) and length, it differed in form very con- 
siderably from the Grimsby specimen figured with Mr. Clark’s, being much 
more slender. I regret I made no vertical measurements for comparison 
with Mr. Clark’s, but the following measurements of lengths very nearly 
correspond with those of the Grimsby specimen :—

Three were said to have been seen together, one larger and the other 
slightly smaller than the one captured. The close agreement in colour 
and form of the Yarmouth specimen with that described and figured by 
Mr. Clark, although of opposite sexes, is very interesting; but a good 
figure of the adult animal is still a desideratum, that by Van Beneden (which 
T have not seen) not being considered satisfactory by Dr. Cunningham, and 
that by Miss BAM Rrellnaleieie every allowance for difference of age— 
being obviously incorrect. Knowing Miss Brightwell’s reputation as an 
artist, and the accuracy with which her figures of microscopic animals for
