202 Dr. J. E. Gray on the Whales described

names enough given them :—

hese must include more than one species; and there can 
be no doubt of the next being distinct, for it is a Scrag Whale.

1868, p. 225. The Californian Grey St Francisco 
ope observes that a disse of Aguphelis exists in the 
Kamtschatkan seas, according to Pallas, who, however, de- 
rived his information solely from models made by the M Um 
islanders ; = called it Balena agamachschik. Dr. e ob- 
serves, « ray, in his Catalogue of Whales, irüly Indi 
cates it as a genus unknown tò him ” (see Proc. Acad. N. S 
à p . 
Philad. 1868, p. 226). Mr. Cope’s account of this whale is 
very interesting ; and there are several remains. 
In this work the number of the species of the genus is 
limited to five—Balena mysticetus, B. biscayensis, B. japoni- 
eus, B. australis, and B. antipodarum ; but the authors believe 
there may exist another species that extends from the east side of 
the Cape of Good Hope to Australia. This theory evidently 
has had considerable influence in pra a what species they 
should admit as distinct, and what they should regard as varie- 
ties. They ignore the existence of two species of whales at the
