Kushimoto purple 19 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?
