Length, 9 feet. The lower jaw is narrow in front, gradually becoming 
wider behind, and with a distinct gonyx at the end of the symphysis. 
The lower jaws of the two Ziphioid whales figured by Dr. Hector have only 
a tooth at the front end, instead of a tooth at the front and one a little 
further behind on the side of the jaw, as is usual in Berardius. Perhaps 
this depends on age. The having only two teeth quite in front of the 
lower jaw is the character of Epiodon, but that has a sub-cylindrical 
tooth, and Dr. Hector’s animals both have compressed triangular teeth 
' like Berardius, as figured in his plates, so that if they are not Berardius

E. Mesoplodon longirostris, of Krefft, of a skeleton of which in the Australian 
і Museum of Sydney he sent me a very beautiful photograph, appears to 
be either Berardius hectorii or a new species. The photograph does not 
show any teeth. The beak of the Australian specimen appears to 
be longer, viz., nearly twice as long as the head, whereas the beak figured 
by Hector is but little more than one-and-a-half times as long as the head.
