Parker, represents the animal as it appeared after the removal 
of the organs; and, from the rounded form of the head, the 
slight projection of the upper jaw, the narrow, elongated, 
pointed anterior fins, and the color as above described, I think 
there can be no doubt of its being the globiceps. 
Measurements, taken on the first day, were as follows: from 
the anterior extremity of the head to the centre of the tail, 7 
feet 2 inches; to the pectoral fin, 20 inches; to the dorsal, 38 
inches; to the blow-hole, 92 inches; to the eye, 91 inches; 
to the penis, 4 feet 1 inch, and to the anus, 4 feet 8 inches. 
Span of tail 21 inches, with a notch 1 inch deep in the 
centre; pectoral fin 51 inches across the base; 21 inches 
along the anterior edge, and 15; inches along the posterior. 
Dorsal fin about 15 inches across the base, 18 inches along the 
anterior edge, and 6 inches along the posterior. Circum- 
ference in front of dorsal fin, 3 feet 10 inches; blow-hole 
concave anteriorly, and 13 inches across, from tip to tip; eye 
iof an inch. The external opening of the ear was so small 
as only to admit a pin, and was not found till after the cartilage 
had been cut through ; according to Cuvier, and the statemen 
18 repeated by Sir William Jardine and by Mr. Beale, this 
opening was not discovered in any one of the seventy globiceps 
stranded in Brittany in 1812; one of these specimens was sent 
to G. Cuvier, besides many of the heads and other parts, (Oss. 
Foss. v, 985); but I do not find that he alludes to the external 
ear, nor scarcely to any other point of anatomy, except the 
Stomach, which he describes in the Anatomie Comparée. ; 
Of the teeth, there were counted, on the left side, nine m 
the upper jaw and three in the lower, several of them being 
quite loose. On dissection, there were found to be nine ou 
ch side in the upper jaw; in the lower, eight on each side, 
_ behind these two others on the right side which were con- 
siderably smaller than the rest. | -—
