Chap. VIII. Of Fish and Sliclla, pp. 705-712. At pp. 70G, 707 i.s a short account of "several

 mysticetus, ^Z, Aivo sangi or kokadsura, a small gray or ash-colored whalo, proliahly lifiachi-

 "three or four fathoms in length," Q, Tivasikura, "that is, 8ardin'.s-eater," — doubtless a 

 Balcenoptera. The JSatsifiko, also mentioned, may be an Orca, but as described is certainly a, 

 myth.
