Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Naturalist, Vol. 24: July, 1890
The line of successional modification of the Cetacea is found in changes in (i) the shape of the skull (2) the extinction of the dentition (3) the shortening of the cervical vertebra and (4) in the separation of the ribs from articulation with the vertebral centra. The modification of the shape of the skull is related to the gradual transfer of the external nostrils to more and more posterior positions, until they remain, in the extreme types, above, or even behind above, the eyes. In this process the nasal, frontal and parietal bones become excessively abbreviated, so that in the modern toothed whales, they form a narrow hand between the nostrils and the superior border of the occipital bone.
The order is naturally divided into three sub-orders, which are defined as follows External nostrils on the superior side of the muzzle.
