﻿174! AN ACCOUNT OF A NEW SPECIES OF DELPHINUS, 



is like the lean of beef in colour, nor has it any dif- 

 agreeable fmell ; yet, fo far as I can learn, the natives 

 never eat it. 



In the ftomach were found only fome grains of 

 paddy, (rice in the hufls.,) a few minute fragrants of 

 fliells, and many li^-ing a6live Afcarides.* Notwith- 

 ftanding the contents of the ftomach of this individual, 

 there is no doubt of the animal being pifcivorous. 



* Thefe (Afcaris Dejphini they may be called) are about two 

 inches long, of a pale,, almoft white colour, tapering little, but 

 equally towards each end : the mouth is fituate in the center of .three 

 tubercles ; over the anus is a fmall pointed hornlet on the obtufe tail 

 of the animal.
