MAMMALS. 44^ 



sperm whales passing up and down the coast. Latel)r 

 the number has been reduced to five, one of which, prob- 

 ably, was seen off Domino Harbor, in a large school of 

 " Finners" and "Hump-backs." 



Sibbaldius borealis (Fischer). A Sulphur-bottom> 

 Whale was towed ashore at Old Fort Island in 1878 or 

 1879. (Stearns.) 



Monodon monoceros Linn. While the Narwhal is 

 abundant, going in schools, in Hudson's Strait, it had 

 not been seen at the Moravian settlements since at least 

 1830. 



Delphinapterus catodon (Linn.). The White Whale is^ 

 not uncommonly seen passing in schools along the coast- 

 in the summer-time. 



Orca gladiator (Bonnaterre). The Killer, which was 

 described to me as having the head much shorter and 

 blunter, and with longer teeth than the Grampus, from 

 which it is easily distinguished by its sharp, dorsal fin, 

 five or six feet high, is commonly said, by the fishermen, 

 to attack the Right and Finback Whales, " gouging out 

 lumps of flesh." At Belles Amours, an individual was 

 captured, from whose stomach five shoulders of the seal, 

 were taken. 



Globicephalus intermedins (Harlan). The Black-fish, 

 or Grampus, abounds on the whole coast. 



Grampus griseus (Cuvier). The Grampus occurs 

 along the coast as far as Belle Isle, and perhaps farther.

Odobcznus rosmarus (Malm.). Atlantic Walrus. 



PkocavitulinaUinn. Harbor Seal. Ascends the rivers 

 into fresh water.
