could I find, nor were there any evidences of their
having been any.
Corrections of figure published by True's "Delphinidae"
The dip in the chin is more abrupt & pronounced
than is shown in the figure. The upper edge of
the white spot above eye is more curved than
shown in figure - that is the spot is more
nearly regularly elliptical. The white of the
superior
tHroat runs down closer to base of pectoral
and it ends in a curve instead of an angle as
shown in figure. The superior edge of the
white mark on the peduncle is more con-
cave (not flat) than in figure. There is
to much dip, in the superior outline of
the peduncle, in the figure - this is nearly
straight. No white edging as shown on the
proximal half of the upper lip as figured.
These are all probably only individual
differences & have but little importance]
Blowhole
It is irregularly semicircular slit the convex
border points forward. The blowhole is sit-
uated in a slight depression in the top of the
head. Length curved = 16 cm? Length from
tip to tip of points (straight) = 12 cm?
