30 NOTES ON THE MAMMALS OP TASMANIA, 



Lagenoehynchus, Sp. 



This species is included on the authority of Mr. H. H. 

 Scott, who writes from Launceston. "There is another 

 dolphin which appears in our river, at very, very rare in- 

 tervals, so cannot say too much about it, although I ain 

 always on the lookout to get a second for structural and 

 taxonomic purjDoses. From external data I call it 'Lage- 

 iiorhynclms cruciger.' I feel sure it will so work out. The 

 genus is practically certain."
