This specimen differs from the corresponding vertebral mass of B. mysticetus, No. 40611, and agrees with the figure of the same part in the present species given by Van Bene- den and Gervaisin their ' Osteographie des Cotaces,' pi. vii. figs. 8-11, the characteristic features being the contour of the condylar cups of the atlas, the narrow interval between them, the small nutrient foramen, and the nearly horizontal direction of the inferior border of the lateral arch in the second and third vertebra).
