Hunter's celebrated memoir was for many yeais the principal source of information respect- 

 ing the anatomy of Cetaceans, and is even still quotable. His observations were repeatedly 

 copied, more or less extensively, by many subsequent writers, and his figures were reproduced 

 in many of the older works, notably by Bonnaterre (1789), who faithfully copied aU but one 

 (pi. xix), which he also reproduced with modifications, e.g., the insertion of the two teeth in 

 the lower jaw. [399.]
