There is a great similarity in the general form of the skulls of Phoccena, Beluga, and Monoceros; but, independently of the size and teeth, they differ in the form of the convexity in front of the blower; in Beluga the front of the blower is flattish, in Monoceros there is a broad, half-oblong convexity, and in Phoccena a squarish tuberosity. The genus Delphinapterus was formed by Laccpede to contain this animal (which he before described as a Catodon) and the Del^ihinus Senedette, which is probably an imaginary figure of a Sperm Whale made from description, or perhaps of D. Orca with the doi-sal fin left out. It has been applied by Peron, Cuvier, and others to a very different animal. Professor Owen observes, the prefrontal bones are large and coalesce with the vomer, and ascend into view at the back 2)art of the nostrils, where they coalesce with the frontals. The nasal bones are wedged into an interspace between them and the frontals, at the sixmmit of the nasal apertures.âCat. Osteal. Coll. Surg. 454. n. 2506. Fiff.
