country name is Sherif al Wady, but the systematic name which it 
should have, when received into the system, Blyth proposes to be Bos 
atlantinus. The other species, with a flowing nuchal mane (Wadan? 
Pecasse ?) is found, commonly in large herds, about Rabat and Salee, on 
the Barbary coast. (Ann. ix. p. 62.) 
The first division of Ogilby’s Monograph of the Hollow- 
horned Ruminants, mentioned in last year’s report, is now 
completed in the Transact, of the Zool. Soc. 1842, p. 33. 
CETACEA. 
Ruppell looks upon a Dolphin, living in the Red Sea, as a 
new species, Delphinus abusalam, which he distinguishes from 
D. tursio by the number of the teeth, the dorsal vertebrse, and 
the position of the eye towards the corner of the mouth. 
(Mus. Senck. iii. p. 140, tab. 12.) 
Couch has given a short description, with a plate, which he 
boasts as being true to nature, of a Delphinus glohiceps 
(Phoceena melas), twenty feet long, from a specimen caught 
on the coast of Cornwall. (Ann. ix. p. 371.) 
Doumet has given an account of a Hyperodon, stranded on 
the coast of Corsica, in the Rev. Zool. 1842, p. 207, and has 
added a sketch of it. 
Haldeman has been too late with his proposal of giving the 
Dolphin with two teeth in the under jaw, the name of Hypo- 
don, as it has long since been called Heterodon. Proceed, 
of the Acad, of Philadelph. 1842, p. 127. 
A short notice has been given in the Instit. 1842, p. 384, 
of a fossil Dolphin found in Maryland, Delphinus calvertensis.
