Mamm.

' EBchricht on the Northern species of Orca. Eay Society — 1866, p. 168.
* " They (the Grampus of the'South Seas) occur in herds, and their appearance is supposed to indicate the resorts of the Cachalots." Bennett, Whaling Voyage.
* False Orca.

92 The English name is derived from the discovery, in 1840, of the fossil remains, in the fens of Lincolnshire, of a whale, of which the l...iving representative was then unknown. The skull, shortly after the discovery, was fully described by Prof Owen, in the " British Fossil Mammalia." Twenty years subsequently, M. Eeinhardt, a Danish naturalist, found a species of whale existing in the northern seas, which, by the careful examination of its skeleton, he ascertained to be identical with Owen's Psuud. crassidens.
" I therefore believe," observes M. Eeinhardt, " that we must really acknowledge this Phocsena crassidens of Owen to be the dolphin stranded on our coasts ; however strange it may seem that our first knowledge of a Cetacean, of which great shoals are still in our time roaminij; about in our Northern Sea, should have come to us through an individual which thousands of yeai-s ago found its resting place on a sea bottom, now forming part of the soil of England." Theru were two of these whales stranded on the shore near Asnfes, on the Danish coast, and they measured li and 19 feet respectively.
