Whales of the Genus Mesoplodon — and also' Hyperoo- 

 don — certainly visit our shores, at rare intervals:. Owing 

 to the need for a sound taxonomic revision of the genera 

 and species of Ziphoid whales the inclusion of the above 

 species in this list should be regarded atS a provisional 

 airangement only.

 chathamensin, which was obtained from Port Arthur in 1868. Detailed 

 investigation will probably prove this to belong to a representative of 

 the genus Hyperoodon.
