Investigations on Cetacea (1980)
The Chinese finless porpoise of the Changjiang river, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis (PILLERI and GIHR, 1972) presents a taxonomic entity which differs from N. phocaenoides (G. CUVIER, 1829) of south and south-west…
The Chinese finless porpoise of the Changjiang river, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis (PILLERI and GIHR, 1972) presents a taxonomic entity which differs from N. phocaenoides (G. CUVIER, 1829) of south and south-west…
Dentinal growth layer groups (GLGs) in teeth were counted for 84 beach-cast specimens of Phocoena phocoena from the northeastern Pacific (mostly California). Measurements of external, cranial, and postcranial traits were…
This paper reviews current knowledge of Burmeister's porpoise (Phocoena spinipinnis), probably the most abundant coastal small cetacean in southern South American waters and probably existing in two isolated Atlantic and…
(...) in the present paper we should like to examine with the naked eye the anatomical structure of the brain of the Chinese finless porpoise. The specimens were prepared in…
One hundred and forty-three skulls of a total of 15 cetacean species belonging to the superfamiIies of the Platanistoidea, Monodontoidea and Delphinoidea presented usually symmetrically arranged perforation areas or lacunae…
The cochito (Phocoena sinus), the smallest member of its genus, is known from 21 confirmed records from the upper Gulf of California and is probably found only in that area.…

An incomplete skull of unknown sex of a sub-adult spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica Lahille, 1912) was collected at Macquarie Island (54°30'S, 159°00'E) in July 1957. Cranial measurements are given, and…
True porpoises are a morphologically distinctive and evolutionarily old group of odontocete cetaceans classified as the family Phocoenidae. They are distinct from members of the family Delphinidae, with which they…
