310 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
12th, 1894; seven days after another of exactly the same dimen- 
sions brought into Yarmouth by a Herring-boat. 
Porpoisge (Phocena communis). C.—Frequently seen in the 
fishery grounds, and not seldom observed when passing through 
the Roads insummer. Has been seen up-river, and been stranded 
on Breydon mud-flats. ‘‘ Two foetal young ones were taken from a 
Porpoise at Yarmouth on Dec. 7th, 1881,’ Southwell (Trans. Norf. 
and Nor. Nat. Soc. ii. p. 672). A very large shoal passed through 
the Roads, Jan. 11th, 1890. An example 39in. long stranded 
July 18th, 1891; the teeth were barely through the gums. 
WHITE-BEAKED Doxupuin (Delphinus albirostris). F.— This 
species, which “‘ was first recorded from Norfolk” (Trans. Norf. 
and Nor. Nat. Soc. iii. p. 672), has several times been observed, 
and taken since. Six are recorded prior to 1885. I have met 
with the following :—Example 7 ft., Gorleston, April 17th, 1890; 
another, 4 ft. 8 in., on South Beach, April 19th, 1891 (the Gulls 
had been busy at it); one, 7 ft. 4 in., went through the bridge to 
Breydon, Aug. 30th, 1891; it had forty-four teeth in the upper 
jaw, forty-eight below. Several got aground in shallow water at 
the Caister “patch,” Sept. 16th, 1891; they struggled over a 
considerable area into deeper water. One brought in alive, June 
13th, 1894; length, 8 ft. 6in.; was exhibited alive on the Marine 
Parade, but ordered off by police. It was killed in a fish-house, 
and found to be a gravid female; the young contained was 3 ft. 
6 in., the short snout was not beyond the arch of the “forehead,”’ 
which was exceedingly convex. It was apparently within a day 
or two of birth. Most of the examples examined were females. — 
Local, “‘ Scoulter.”’ 
Tue Common Do.upuin (D. delphis) has not as yet been de- 
tected here.
