LISSODKLPHIS DELPHINUS— TUKSIOl'S— PKODELPHINUS. 9
"The forej^oing locality iy, I believe, incorrect. It should be Wood.s Hole,
INIass., or else Cape Cod. I think cast. No. 121*39, Woods Hole, Mass., (original
No. 3), anti the whole series of skulls and mandibles, Nos. 14228 to 14320, and
probal)ly also Nos. 14335 and 14362 to 14.373, are to be regarded as cotypes.
Two or three of these skulls were missing when the collection was checked up
in 1905. No. 14335 is marked 'Skeleton without a head,' but it is on e.\hibi-
tion and there is a skull on it now. This seems to be the only skeleton in
the lot." F. W. True.
