Cete imd Sirenia passim. Die Ordnung Natantia enthalt 2 Familien (Sirenia und Cete), 9 

 G-attuugeu und 47 Arten (p. 5"2). Sirenia, 7 Arten ; Cete, 40 Arten (p. 53). 



Of the "40" spp. of Cete enumerated in his several tables of distribution a considerable 

 proportion are nominal, they including such names as Monodon microcephalus and M. an- 

 dersonianus. Ancylndon anaraak, Physeter ortliodon, cylindricus, trumpo, etc., Delphinus 

 senedetta, ventricosus, feres, etc. ; iu additi(m to a Delphinus bidens we li.ave Hyperodon re- 

 tusiis. There is also a ' ' Manatus ? Simia, " a Manatus flanialis, and 21. Sphaerurus, in addition 

 to 2f. australis. There is also a Jiytina cetacea oa well as a liytina borealis. The lists arc, so 

 far at least as the Cete and Sirenia arc concerned, worthless conglomerations, which, as in 

 the case of other gi()U])s treated in the same connection, appear to contain some names coined 

 for the occasion, without descriptions or textual references. The paper may be safely ig- 

 nored .so far as Cetology is concerned. [544. J
