738 DR. J. E. GRAY ON NEW SPECIES OF DOLPHINS. [Dec. 12, 
Length from end of snout to tip of tail 6 ft. 74}in.; the other 
measurements are nearly the same as in D. moorii. 
The third skull belongs to the section of the genus Delphinus 
which I have named Clymene, which has the palate of the skull flat, 
without any lateral groove. 
The figure represents this animal as black, greyer beneath, and 
with small white spots on the sides.

Clymene punctata. 
3. CLYMENE PUNCTATA. 
The beak of the skull once and one-half the length of the brain- 
cavity, depressed behind, and gradually tapering and rather slender 
in front; its length nearly three times the width at the notch. 
Lower jaw attenuated and slender, and rather bent up in front, 
without any gonyx. Teeth small, slender, =. 7 five in an inch of 
margin. The palate flat ; the hinder part of the palate in front of the 
internal nostrils broad, swollen, having a very shallow central groove 
with rather convex inner, and very oblique, flat, external sides. 
Length of skull 154 inches, of beak 94, of brain-case 614, of lower 
jaw 122; width over condyles 64 inches, at notch 3 inches 4 lines, 
in middle of beak 1 inch 8 lines. 
The two bladebones are rather different in general form, one being 
more truncated behind than the other; they are both truncated in 
front ; and in both the coracoid process is large, with a short upper 
and a long, straight lower edge; one has a long, regularly arched, 
and the other an equally long, but sinuous, upper edge, showing 
that, in considering these distinctions as specific, some allowance 
must be made for occasional variation. 
The skull is much like some of the skulls I have named Clymene 
doris; but perhaps I have included several species under that name, 
as some of the skulls differ in the form of the hind part of the palate. 
The one here described differs from all of them in having a more 
slender and attenuated beak. 
Dorsal fin high, rather acute at the tip. General colour of body 
black ; sides with minute white specks; the side of the body above 
the base of the pectoral to the base of the tail blackish grey, which 
colour is obliquely extended as a lunate band from behind the vent 
to the back near the base of the tail. 
Length from end of snout to tip of tail 6 feet, to blowhole 1 ft. 3 in.,
