thinks it possible that Hhytina may yet be found alive. Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc. 
18GG, xxxix. pp. 138-14G. Prof. v. Brandt enters into a repeated detailed argu- 
ment, demonstrating that the researches for a living example are quite sulh- 
cient to show the complete extinction of this creature. Ibid. pp. 572-697. 
4 Sibbaldms luticeps (Gray). Mr. Cope describes the capture and skeleton of 
an example killed olf the coast of Mobjack Bay, U. S. Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. 
Philad. 18GG, p. 298. 
4 Balcsnoptera musculus. Hr. G. 0. Sars (see above, p. 11) has given a de- 
tailed description of an example 40^ feet long, found drifting at Lofoten. 
Unfortimately only some parts of the skeleton could be saved, which, together 
with the skull of a much larger individual in the Christiania Museum, are de- 
scribed. The paper is illustrated by three plates, on which views of the en- 
tire animal, of the skull, several bones, &c. are given. 
Borqualus cortesii. The great affinity observed between fossil and recent 
Cetaceans may justify the Ilecorder in directing attention to a memoir by 
Prof. Capellini, in which the fossil remains of a skeleton are described in 
Mem. Accad. Sc. Istit. Bologna, 1865, iv. pp. 315-336, pis. 1-3. 
4 Physeter {Eupthysetes) sitmis is a new species from the eastern coast of 
' the Indian peninsula, with a very short snout and high dorsal fin, in which 
the blowhole is not terminal, but near the forehead, and in which the man- 
dibular rami are united by a symphysis of less than half the length of the 
rami.” Owen, 1. c. p. 30, pis. 10-14 *. 
JDelphimis. Prof. Owen (/. c.) has described the following new species 
from Vizagapatam: — D. {Steno) gadamUj p. 17, pi. 3. figs. l,2j D. (? Steno) 
lentiginosuSf p. 20, pi. 6. figs. 2, 3 j D. (? Steno) macuUvetder^ p. 21, pi. G. 
figs. 1, 2 ; D. {Lagenorhynchus) fiisiformis, p. 22, pi. 5. fig. 1 j D. pomeegrcij 
p. 23, pi. 6. fig. 3.

29G, hab. — ? 
'^Delphinus viicrops. Notes on the skull by Burmeister, Ann. & Mag. 
Nat. Hist, xviii. p. 101. Eelplxinus ivalkeri (Gray) may be identical 
with it. 
4 Delphinus eurynome. Prof. Burmeister states that this species is in the 
Buenos Ayres Museum, and not D. eup)hrosyne, as he formerly informed Dr. 
Gray (see Catal. Seals and Whales, p. 352) ; its occurrence on the Buenos 
Ayres coast is problematical. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, xviii, p. 100. 
Lagenorhynchus albirostris. Dr. Gray records its occurrence on the coast 
of Cromer, in Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 18G6, xvii. p. 312.

Cope, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. Philad. 1866, p. 293, from the coast of Peru. 
\ Phoccena. Mr. Cope makes some remarks on the skulls of the species de- 
scribed by himself and Mr. Gill, 1 . c. p. 294. 
* We may remark that figures pi. 11 and pi. 10. fig. 1 were taken from 
one and the same individual ; the former being incorrect ought to have been 
cancelled before Sir W. Elliot’s notes were communicated to Prof. Owen, 
who, from an examination of the drawings and accompanying notes, could 
not come to any other conclusion than that a pair of this G’etacean had been 
captured. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1867, xix. pp. 263, 372, 373.
