6. Notice of the Skeleton of the New-Zealand Right Whale 

 (Macleayius australiensis) and other Whales, and other 

 New-Zealand Marine Mammalia. By Dr. J. E. Gray, 

 F.R.S. &c. ' 



[Eeceived December 2, 1872.] 



Dr. Haast has sent to England the skeleton of a Whale from the 

 coast of New Zealand. This skeleton is now exhibited in the collection 

 of the British Museum. It was believed, when first imported, to be 

 the New-Zealand Whale, described and figured by me in Dr. Dief- 

 fenbach's ' Voyage ' under the name of Balcena antipodarum, which 

 has been formed into the genus Caperea on account of the peculiar 

 shape of its ear-bones. The examination of the ear-bones at once 

 showed that it was not of that species, and proved that there were 

 two Right Whales inhabiting the coast of New Zealand. 



The ear-bone is so similar to that of Eubalcena australis in the 

 Proc. Zool. Soc.— 1873, No. IX. 9
