The Book is divided into Three 8e£H#ns, in which 
he firft treats of the fmiller Whules, and fo proceeds to 
fpeak of thofe that are larger. The Firft Section is con- 
cerning the lefTer fort of Whales, both thofe that ha ve a 
Spout, and thofe that have Noftrils, as well fiich as have 
Teeth in both their Jaws, as thole that have them only 
in the lower. 
The Second Seftion concerns the larger Whales, which 
have Teeth only in the lower Jaw. In the Third SeSion 
we have an Account of thofe Whales, that have horny 
Plates in their upper Jaw ; which Plates we in England 
improperly call Whale-bone. 
In the Firft Se&ion he enumerates the feveral forts of 
Whales that haveTeeth, by way of Preface ; and in the 
Firft Chapter fpeaks of the fmaller fort of Whales, where* 
of he gives a large Defcription, as likewife he hath done 
of all ; the reft that follow thefe, have Teeth in both their 
Jaws, by the Englijb called the Grampus ; they are vora- 
cious and fierce Enemies to other Whales, and it may be 
thought that their fury many times drives the large 
Whales upon the Shore : thofe have a Spout and Three 
Fins. The Second Chapter treats of a fort of Whales, that 
iiave Teeth only in their lower Jaw, and without any Fin 
on the Back, which have not been defcrib'd by any Au- 
thor : thefe have Noftrils. The Third, of the leaft fort, 
of Whales, of an uncertain Clafs. He obferves, That 
the Flefli of fome of thofe being buried at the Roots of 
fome Fruit-Trees, thofe Trees bore abundantly the next 
Year. 
In the Second Sedion he treats of the larger Whales, 
which have Teeth only in their lower Jaw. In the Pre* 
face he takes notice of two forts ; bur that which has but 
one Tooth, and is taken for the Unicorn, not beingever
