Gray, I ENCLOSE the photograph of the tooth of a new whale, IS feet long, caught in Little Bay. It is allied to the genus Meso- 2'>lodon, and I propose to call it Mesoplodon CrUntheri. We have the entire skeleton. The tooth was imbedded in the mandible, and is bent, the tip towards the margin; but it was not visible from without. Unfortunately, the body was very much hacked and lacerated; but most of the abdominal vis- cera have been saved.
