This is probably a young specimen of Glohiocephalus Svineval. 

 The skull differs in being rather slenderer in front, and in the inter- 

 maxillary not being rugose in front. In the Catalogue of the Mus. 

 CoU. Surg. 165. n. 1138, it is called " the skuU of a small Grampus," 

 Hunterian, and n. 1136, " the skull of a large Grampus," Hunterian. 

 It appears to be the skull which Prof. Owen gives the measurements 

 of, under the name of S. melas, in his account of Phocaena crassidens, 

 in the work on British Fossil Mammalia. 



The skull of the Black Grampus {Delphinus melas), which formed 

 part of the Hunterian CoUeetion in the Museum of the College of 

 Surgeons (see Cat. p. 456, n. 2518), is thus described — 



"Number of alveoli ^' ^^ =46. The teeth are moderately small, 

 conical, subincurved, decreasing to the two extremes of the series. 

 The fourth to the tenth inclusive are subequal. The symphysis of the 

 lower jaw is subtriangular, and curves from below upwards at its 

 extremity." 



3. Globiocephalus intermedius. Blackish. 

 Teeth |^, several being quite loose. Skin uniform dull slate- 

 colour ; belly with an ill-defined, narrow, clouded white streak ex- 

 tending from beneath the jaw to about the anus, being much broader 

 and whiter in some parts than in others, and most so beneath 

 the jaw.
