Ehrenberg says that be also saw a young specimen of another species, recently 
captured by Arabs, with an obtuse snout and a single dorsal tin, but that he tried in 
vain to obtain it. 
lluppell (Abhandl. Mus. Senckenb. hi. 1845, p. 140, pi. xii.) gives a detailed 
description of a dolphin which he says is found all over the Red Sea in small parties ; 
it is known by the Arab boatmen as ‘Abu Salara.’ The diagnosis is as follows:_ 
Dclpliimts ttbLisoXofiTi^ Riipp. Eelphinusrostro conico, mandibula paullulum prominente, 
in utraque maxilla supra et subtus 25-27 dentibus conicis subrobustis, fronte globosa, 
oculis non in linea prolongata anguli oris, sed supra illam positis; dorsi colore viridi- 
fusco, margine labiali, gula et ventre carneo-albicante, nonnullis maculis minutis nigris 
variegate.” 
Riippell also briefly mentions that there is another dolphin which occurs in the Red 
Sea, with a very long, narrow beak, with about fifty teeth on each side of the jaw, 
which may very likely be Delpliiniis loiigirostris, Eussumier.” He also mentions an 
animal about fifteen feet long, with a short rounded head, light green in colour, which 
probably belongs to the genus Phoc^xVa, or True Porpoises. —W. E. de W.
