Aiuloi sou's work, from its early date and the detailed information it gives, is one of im- 

 port; nco in its relation to Cetology. See later editions, especially the Dutch versions of 1750 

 and 1700. 



Strange as it may seem, I h.ave been unable to find ,iny edition of Anderson in any of the 

 principal libraries of Cambridge and Boston, the collations here given being all at second
