Thus, the sperm whale and the humpbacked whale, each has a hump; however there the similitude ceases. In reference to this appellative of “Whalebone whales,” it is of great importance to say, that nevertheless such a nomenclature could also be convenient in facilitating allusions to some kind of whales, yet it’s in vain to attempt a clear classification of the Leviathan, founded upon either his baleen, or hump, or fin, or teeth; however that these marked components or features very clearly seem better tailored to afford the basis for a daily system of Cetology than another detached bodily distinctions, which the whale, in his varieties, presents. In the length he attains, and in his baleen, the Fin-back resembles the best whale, however is of a much less portly girth, and a lighter colour, approaching to olive. So, name him the Hyena Whale, if you happen to please. He has an incredible pack on him like a peddler; otherwise you may name him the Elephant and Castle whale. At any price, the popular identify for him does not sufficiently distinguish him, for the reason that sperm whale also has a hump though a smaller one. Let him go. I do know little more of him, nor does anybody else.

(Grampus).-Though this fish, whose loud sonorous respiration, or rather blowing, has furnished a proverb to landsmen, is so well-known a denizen of the deep, but is he not popularly classed amongst whales.
He’s of reasonable octavo dimension, various from fifteen to twenty-five toes in length, and of corresponding dimensions spherical the waist. Book II. (Octavo), CHAPTER II. Book I. (Folio), CHAPTER V. (Razor Back).-Of this whale little is known but his identify. His early work in mathematics and astronomy was so brilliant that the French Academy, in opposition to its personal guidelines, admitted him at the age of 23. He was equally distinguished in physics, in manuals of which his name still happens, and was honored by all of the realized academies of Europe. Where any name happens to be vague or inexpressive, I shall say so, and recommend one other. But I should be content with solely one more and a concluding illustration; a remarkable and most significant one, by which you is not going to fail to see, that not only is essentially the most marvellous occasion on this guide corroborated by plain information of the present day, but that these marvels (like all marvels) are mere repetitions of the ages; so that for the millionth time we say amen with Solomon-Verily there’s nothing new beneath the solar. Why this e book of whales shouldn’t be denominated the Quarto may be very plain.
