ABDITIONS AND COEBECTIONS. 



Species described from photographs of bones are at any rate much 

 better established than the many of Dolphins and Whales which the 

 French zoologists have described from figures taken when the ani- 

 mals were swimming in the sea at a greater or less distance from 

 the ship, which encumber our catalogues; for they are described 

 from tangible natural bodies that can be identified when more per- 

 fect specimens are obtained.
