Geoffroy St. Hilaire (see Miranda Ribeiro, 1943, Arq. Mus. Nac. Rio de Janeiro, 37: 23); the mounted skin was painted to simulate its natural colors (cf. G. Cuvier, 1812, Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat., 19: 10). Brazil; according to Gervais (supra cit.) probably from upper Amazon.

Coast of France. Holotype 105875 Skin and anterior portion of skull, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. Río Marañon above Pebas, Loreto, Peru. Holotype 1559075 Three of several skeletons received by the Würtemburg Naturaliensammlung, Stuttgart. According to Williams (1928, Zoologica, 7: 105), a female (skin, skeleton, and foetus) is believed to be one of the original series and is still preserved in the Stuttgart Museum as no. 1122. However, Slijper (1938, Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Belgique, 14 [10]: 19) states that 3 cotypes originally were received by the Stuttgart Museum and then presented to P. J. Van Bénéden, who gave one to the Belgian Museum. The remaining two specimens are now in the Louvain Museum. They were collected in 1858 by Kappler (see also Van Bénéden, 1868, Bull. Acad. Roy. Sci. Belgique, 25: 96, 115). Suriname (p. 27, original description), Guiane (p. 34), Cayenne (p. 35); restricted to mouth of Suriname River by E. Van Bénéden (1875, Mém. Acad. Roy. Belgique, 41: 8, 43). Williams (supra cit.) states that, according to records of the Stuttgart Museum, the actual collecting locality is the Maroni or Marowijne River on the eastern border of Suriname. Holotype 1559072 Originally a complete specimen but presumably now represented by skin and complete skeleton; in the Louvain Museum; collected by E. Van Bénéden. Baía de Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Holotype 1760436 Skull, Museum Peabody Academy, Salem, Massachusetts; presented by F. W. Putnam. Unknown. Holotype 1559103 One or more skulls only, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. According to Gray (1850, Cat. Cetacea, p. 119) three skulls, nos. 2, 7, 10, are labelled dubius. True (1889, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus., 36: 73) lists six Paris museum skulls without locality; nos. 3036, 3030, 3039, 3038, 3032, 3040. Fraser (1950, Atlantide Rep., 1: 72) refers to four of these, of which one presumably is the holotype redescribed by Pucheran (1856, Rev. Mag. Zool., p. 449). Not given in original description; later the specimen was said to be "un qui vient sur nos côtes [i.e., of France]" (Cuvier, 1827, Règne animal, 1: 288). According to Gray (1850, Cat. Cetacea, pp. 119, 120), one of the three skulls examined by him is from "Cap Verd," the others without locality. Gray believed, however, that the "Cap Verd" specimen might be the type of D. frontalis Cuvier. Holotype 105884 Skull, Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, no. A 3035; collected by M. Dussumier. Near Cape Verde Islands, North Atlantic, off the coast of Africa.
