■" There is a skeleton of the Balcena cisarctica in the Museum of 

 the Academy of an individual of 37 feet, and a ramus mandibuli 

 16 feet in length, indicating a total of 68 feet, adult size. A sca- 

 pula in the Museum, Kutger's College, New Brunswick, N. J., mea- 

 sures 36 inches in height, and 48 5 inches in width, indicating an 

 adult of 57 feet in length. A young individual of 45 feet, line- 

 measurement, awaits mounting in the Museum Compar. Zoology, 

 Cambridge, Mass. Of this individual I will shortly give a detailed 

 description in an essay on the species. Like the other specimens.
