The other vertebrse are without any lower lateral processes. The neural canal is very large, nearly circular in front, being almost as high as wide; at the hinder end it is tfansversei trigonal, nearly four-fifths as wide as the width of the articulating surface of the first dorsal vertebra, and atout two-thirds as high as broad. The outer surfaces of the united arches are very convex and broad, with a broad triangular disk in front marked with a central keel; and the upper surface is keeled, with convex sides behind. This mass is so unlike the mass of the cervical vertebrse of the Greenland specimen of Balcena Mysticetus va. the College of Surgeons (which, through the kindness of the Council of that body, I have been enabled to examine and figiire), that I am inclined to think it may belong to another species, and is probably the cervical vertebraa of the whale which Eschricht has described under the name of Balcena Biscayensis. They differ in the form of the lateral processes of the atlas and other vertebrae, and in the manner in which they are soldered together, and especially in the external form of the neural arch.
