Abstract

We desire to place on record a few notes relating to the
discovery of certain Cetacean remains from the assumed
Miocene beds at the Wynyard Cliffs, North-West Tasmania.
Our latest additions consist of parts of the embedded
centra and processes of some twenty vertebras, which in
superficial osteology agree fairly closely with those of the
modern Globicephalus whales, and depart, as equally, from
such Squalodont remains as we have handled from this
locality.
