Note 24 — Chapter III · RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES AND SUPERSTITIONS
Reading edition
Really dolphin, but this name is also used for a certain fish. The true dolphins, like porpoises, are whales in miniature, air-breathing animals which have become disguised by a fish-like outer shape in accordance with their marine life. Internally every structure is like that of the land mammals from which they are descended, and totally different to that of fishes.
