MR. T. SOUTHWELL ON OCCURRENCE OF YOUNG GRAMPUSES.

the Cetacea; this, however, is a mere conjecture, as the Grampus 
is often gregarious, and more than one female may have been bereft 
of its young one. 
On the 13th November, Mr. Patterson sent me word that 
a young Grampus was being exhibited on a wheelbarrow at 
Yarmouth, which he stated was seven feet live inches long; it was 
in the possession of a Lowestoft man, and was probably brought 
in by one of the boats belonging to that port. He did not observe 
the sex, and next day the animal had disappeared. 
The second example Mr. Patterson saw on the Fish Wharf at 
Yarmouth on the 19th November, and purchased it for the 
Norwich Museum, where it arrived on the 20th, when 1 had an 
opportunity of examining it. Owing to the skin being considerably 
abraded by rough usage, it was not in a condition to make a perfect 
specimen for the Museum collection ; I therefore telegraphed to 
Mr. S. F. Harmerat the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge, 
and at his request sent it on to that institution, after having made 
some careful measurements which are worth recording, by way of 
comparison with those of the adult. 
The animal was a female, and had probably never taken solid 
food, no trace of which, as I was informed by Mr. Harmcr, was to 
be found in the stomach and intestines ; the teeth had not been 
cut, but could be plainly felt in the upper jaw. Mr. Harmer tells 
me there were other indications of extreme juvenility ; the foetal 
structures connected with the placenta being very large, the pre- 
sumption is, therefore, that the animal was still sucking. 
The following is the description of this very handsome Cetacean. 
The dorsal surface glossy black, with the exception of a somewhat 
oval and sharply-defined patch of white commencing in a point 
just above the eye and extending backward to above anil slightly 
beyond the posterior insertion of the pectoral limb. This patch 
of white, or rather cream yellow (probably owing to discoloration 
of the juvenile skin), was about three times the length of its 
deepest measurement. The ventral surface of the animal was of 
the same yellowish white, divided from the black colour of the 
upper parts by a sharply-delined line, very graceful, but difficult 
to describe, commencing at the point of the rostrum and passing 
along the upper border of the mouth, from which it was deflected, 
to and under the flipper (which was black) to within a few inches
