Balcena gibbosa, p. 610, sp. n. ; not Scrag Whale, Dudley, as usually stated, which is one 

 of the "Species obscurte " not formally recognized, although some of the synonyms cited 

 under B. gibbosa may cover Dudley's Scrag Whale, which Erxleben cites (or the species based 

 on it) at p. 607, at the end of his account of his Balcena physalus. 



The author very justly observes: "Cetorum species paticiores recte cognitae: videtur 

 horum historia denuo fere inchoanda" (p. 601). His treatment of the subject is judicious, 

 being superior, perhaps, to that of any other systematist of the eighteenth century. WhUe 

 still retaining a few species proved later to be merely nominal, he relegated to the list of 

 "Species obscuraj" several which had beep currently recognized by previous compilers. [341.]
