 many seas in both hemispheres. 



Obs. The BalcBua Musculus, is not sufficiently distin-

 the Baron thinks differs only in dimensions from the Jubarta. 

 B. Rostrata of Pennant is the Hyperoodon. B. Punctata, 

 B. Nigra, B. Cceridescens, and B. Maculata, depend only on 

 the Chinese sketches before mentioned, of M. A, Remusat, 

 and are marked doubtful by M. Desniarest.
