This is the order of the Bats. Order 7.—Cetacea. if. This includes the Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises, &c. They have smooth fish-like bodies with a horizontal caudal fin, and the anterior limbs, which alone are present, in the form of paddles. The nostrils are turned back, so as to appear as blow-holes on the top of the head. The teeth are either uniform and conical or are replaced by lamince of w'hale-bone, which collect food as in a net. Thev may thus be divided into toothed whales and whale-bone.
