North Seas, the crew took a female Narwhal having a tooth in the upper jaw, perfect, and in every respect like that of the male, though not so long. The sex of the animal was satisfactorily ascertained in cutting up, when two fœtuses were taken out of it. Mr Brown was acquainted with similar instances of the "horn" being protruded in the female Narwhal; and though it is said to have been seen with two young following it, yet the instances mentioned were the only ones with which he was acquainted, in which the subject had been brought to an experimentum crucis. In all likelihood, the Cetacea in this respect follow the same laws as the other Mammalia, though our opportunities for observing the former were much more limited; and hence the value of every fact, however apparently trifling, being put on record. Mr W. S. YOUNG proposed a vote of thanks to the Presidents and other office-bearers, which was unanimously agreed to, and the Society adjourned until the commencement of the next Session. INDEX.
