Note 3 — PETER KALM’s TRAVELS. (continued 5)
Johann Reinhold Forster translation
Mr. Kalm is certainly mistaken in reckoning the Bottle-nose amongst the Dolphin kind; it has no teeth in its mouth as all the fish of that class have, and therefore belongs to the first order of the Whales, or those that are without teeth. See Mr. Pennant’s British Zoology, Vol. 3. p. 43. where it is called the beaked Whale, and very well described; a drawing is seen in the explanatory table, n. I. Perhaps it would not be improper to call it Balæna ampullata. F. ↑
