to meet the others. These last were travelling, and not 
feeding. 
On the afternoon of the 5th, a little to the north of Molde 
(off Ulsunet), saw four Ospreys; and on the 8th, at Vol Sund 
Tarn (the entrance to Namsen Fjord, twenty English miles 
S. of Namsos), saw an Osprey fishing for Coalfish, in company 
with a number of Lesser Black-back, Herring, and Common 
Gulls. Also a Killer, Orca gladiator, and what was probably a 
Lesser Rorqual; and my friend Mr. Henry Balfour, who was 
with me, thought he saw a third smaller Cetacean (if so, probably 
a Dolphin). 
On the evening of the 9th, at the mouth of Salten Fjord, 
passed a school of mixed Cetaceans, chiefly Dolphins, and among 
them one (or more) that we took to be Pilot Whales, Globicephalus 
melas, and probably a Lesser Rorqual. 
Prof. Collett having (as mentioned in ‘ The Zoologist’ for 
1888, p. 106) called my attention to the species of Dolphin 
commonly met with along the Norwegian coast, I was especially 
glad to find last year two newly-stuffed specimens of Delphinus 
albirostris in the Throndhjem Museum; for one may see a 
Cetacean over and over again at sea, and obtain near and 
comparatively clear views of it, but, unless one has also the 
opportunity of examining specimens on shore, one’s ideas of it 
are tolerably certain to remain somewhat hazy. 
By the opportunities above mentioned, and especially on the 
following day (the 10th), between Kjeé and Lédingen, between 
Grsholmen and Harstad, and near Havnvig, we had unusually 
good views, including plenty of jumping, and we quite satisfied 
ourselves that in each case where we could see clearly, the 
Dolphins were D. albirostris, and all apparently were the same 
species. 
At Bugten (Capt. Grén’s), in Busse Sund, was lying the 
krang of a Killer (no doubt Orca gladiator) which had been taken 
by one of his whalers. Total length, 22 ft. 2 in. Fin said to 
have been barely 1 foot high. Nose to parietal ridge, 3 ft. 3 in. 
Breadth of nasal bones (1 inch behind last tooth in upper jaw, 
and immediately in front of orbital process), 1 ft. 24 in. 
Greatest width of skull (zygomatic arches), about 2 ft. 6 in. 
Length of flipper, about 3 ft. 1 in.; breadth of ditto, 1 ft. 7} in. 
Span of flukes, 5 ft. 53 in. (probably rather more when
