The work, as the title indicates, is a critical digest and compendium of the literature of 

 the Cetacea as then existing. Nearly everytliing of value relating to tlio various .<<pecii\s is 

 noted, and often special papers are given neai-ly in full. The large number of species con- 

 sidered as of doubtful existence indicates a judicious conservatism on tho part of the author 

 rarely exhibited by his predecessors. [887 ]
