The book closes with a fitting and diagnostic '"Appendix" devoted to "Testimonials, Cer- 

 tificates, Letters, etc., etc.," which, as the saying is, "shonld be seen to be appreciated." 



Besides numerous wood-cuts, there are plates of the following species, none of them origi- 

 nal, and most of them are even poor copies — almost too poor to render the originals from 

 which they were taken recognizable in them : Balcena mysticetus, Balcena islandica, Balce- 

 noptera gibbar, pi. to face p. 15. Palcenoptera acuto-rostratus, pi. to face p. 97. Palcenoptera 

 jubartes and Balcenoptera rorqual, pi. to face p. 107. Skeleton of Balcenoptera rorqual, pi. to 

 face p. 115. Monodon monoceros (two figures), pi. to face p. 131. Physeter macrocephalus

From the standpoint of systematic zoology, the present woik merits little consideration ; 

 it contains, however, a modicum of information based on the author's own observations, 

 which La some degree redeems it from being merely an indiscriminate compilation, which is, 

 however, its general character. [811 ]
