In Dr Hector's notes it is stated that plate xiv. refers to a specimen captured in Porirua Harbour, 1866, but this is evidently an error, as Mr Knox informs us that only a rude sketch and a few measurements of that animal were preserved. I am indebted to Dr Lauder Lindsay for the opportunity of consulting these Transactions.

Dr Gray, as if to add one more to the multitude of generic names he has coined in his classification of the Cetacea, calls this specimen Neoziphius (Synopsis, p. 101).

^{page 773 note *} I have from time to time pointed out this cranium to various naturalists, amongst whom I may mention Dr Günther, Dr Acland, and Professor Van Beneden. From a reference to it in Professor Flower's article in “ Nature,” already quoted, it would appear that M. Van Beneden had supposed the skull to be at the present time in the University Museum.
