GiO FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES. 



DelpJiinapterus concretely Cope. Greenland. 

 Delphinapterus rhinodon, Cope. Greenland. 

 Delphinapterus angustata, Cope. Greenland. 



The preceding four species are given on the authority of 

 Professor Cope. It seems improbable that there are live 

 distinct species of White Whales. The measurements of 

 the skulls when reduced to proportions of the total length 

 show some remarkable coincidences. 

 Monodon monoceros, Linne. Narwhal. Arctic Seas. 

 Phocccna Uneata, Cope. Striped Porpoise. Atlantic coast of the United 

 States. 

 13350. Cast, Cape May, New Jersey. C. L. Wheeler. 

 13359. Cast of head. Cape May, New Jersey. C. L. Wheeler. 

 Phocccna braehycion, Goya. Puffing Pig. Herring Hog. Atlantic coast, 

 of the United States. This is one of the commonest 

 species, frequenting the harbors and ascending the rivers. 

 13200. Cast. A. Howard Clark. 

 9157, 9164. Skulls. Eastport, Maine. Prof. S. F. Baird. 

 Phocccna vomer ina, Gill. California Bay Porpoise. Pacific coast of the 

 United States. 

 9077. Photographs of skull and mandible. Puget Sound. Capt. 

 C. M. Scammon. 



Family Ziphiid^. 



Berardius Greunitzkii, Stejneger. Bering Island. 



' A single skull was obtained by Dr. L. Stejneger at Bering- 

 Island and is now in the National Museum. It bears much 

 resemblance to B. Amouxii. This genus has been hitherto 

 observed only in New Zealand waters. 



Hyperoodon rostratum (Chemnitz), Wesmael. Bottle-nose W'liale. North 

 Atlantic Ocean; North Dennis, Massachusetts (Allen); 

 Newport, Rhode Island (Cope). 



This species appears to be common about Greenland, but 

 not so on the coast of the United States. 



Hyperoodon semijunctus, Cope. 



A single specimen in the museum of Charleston College, 

 Charleston, South Carolina. A sketch of the skull of this 

 species, in my possession, convinces me that it is a Zipldus. 

 Flower, Van Beneden, and other European authorities, 

 have long held this opinion. 



Ziphius camrostris, Cuvier. 



A specimen of a Ziphius, provisionally identified with this 

 species, was secured through the United States Life Sav- 

 ing Station at Barnegat City, New Jersey, in 1883. It is 

 a female, 19 feet 4 inches in length, and of a gray color, 

 lightest on the back. The end of the muzzle is white.
