MR. T. SOUTHWELL ON THE WIIITE-BEAKED DOLPHIN. 123 
skeleton of No. Ii5, which formed the subject of Dr. Cuningbam’s 
paper (Proc. Zool. Soc. 187G, p. 679), is preserved in the Museum 
of the University of Edinburgh. The skin of No. 18 was preserved 
for the Berwick Museum, and the skeleton for the Edinburgh 
University Museum : this museum also contains the skull of 
No. 19, which Professor Turner informs me was shot in the 
Firth of Clyde in the autumn of 1878 or 1879, and which ho 
believes to have been the first example of this species identified as 
occurring in Scottish waters. I am also indebted to the kindness 
of Professor Turner for a note of another skull in his museum. 
No. 17 of the above list, obtained from an adult individual caught 
off Berwick on Gth July, 1881, and recorded in ‘Land and Water’ 
of IGth July of that year, under the name of I)el[>hintn tursio. 
The skeleton of No. 20, as well as its stuffed skin, are in the 
Kelvingrovc Museum at Glasgow. Of No. 21, both skin and 
skeleton (as I learn from !Mr. T. J. Moore) arc preserved in 
the Liverpool Museum, William Brown Street. A cast of 
No. 22 Mr. A. G. More informs me is now in the Museum 
of Science and Art, Dublin, the original not being preserved (.see 
also ‘Zoologist,’ 1878, p. 293); and through the kindness of 
^Ir. 1\, Lloyd I’atterson, I learn that the skull of No. 23 Was 
preserved, and is now in his jiossession. AVith regard to the 
identification of this individual, !Mr. Patterson tells me he did not 
see it in the flesh ; but that lie had recently taken the skull to 
London for compari.son, where Dr. Jlurie and himself had no 
hesitation in determining its species. The sex of this specimen 
Avas not noted. Nos. 11 and 12 1 know were not preserved. 
It Avill be observed by the table Avhich I have given, that this 
species makes its appearance on the British coast with great 
regularity in the months of Alarch and April. Further south than 
Ramsgate I am not acquainted Avith any record of its occurrence i 
but it js probable that its Avinter home is the temperate Avaters of 
the North Atlantic, and that its summer AA-anderings carry it north- 
Avard till stopped by Awater too cold for it to inhabit, or for the 
food on Avhich it preys. In its nortliAA’ard migration it passes up 
the English Channel and through the Straits of DoA’^er, probably 
attracted by the IIorring.s, Avhich during the months of March and 
April approach our east coast. All those which have been met 
Avith in s])ring, Avith one exception, having occurred on the east
