The Whales form one of the most extraordinaiy gi-oups of the Mammalia, for they ai-e warni-^blooded, air-breathers, and sucklei-s of their young, and are most strangely adapted for life in a wateiy element. Oddly enough the term '⢠Fish " is still applied to them by the whalers, though they have nothing in common with these creatures save a certain similitude in shape. The vulgar notion of a Whale is an enormous creature with an extremely capacious mouth, but the fact is that many of the Cetacea are of relatively moderate dimensions, though doubtless, on tlie other hand, the magnitude of some is perfectly amazing. Thus, in size they are variable as a group, a range of from five or six feet (equal to the statui-e of man) to seventy or eighty lii-t nhiiiij sufficie
