Index
This index includes both subject and species information. Indexing is by common name
of each species. Searching by scientific name will point to the correct common name.
Whenever a name of a species is not given, this is a general reference to dolphins or
whales. In addition to looking in the index for broad species groupings (e.g., dolphin,
whale, cetacean, odontocete, mysticete), the reader should also look under names of
specific species, as given below.
The species of odontocetes in the index: Amazon river, Atlantic bottlenose, Atlantic
spotted, Atlantic white sided, Chinese river, Commerson's Eastern Pacific bottlenose,
Hawaiian spinner, Hector's, Risso's, Rough tooth dolphins, Harbor porpoise, Beluga,
Baird's beaked, Beaked, False killer, Long finned pilot, North Pacific pilot, Pygmy
sperm, Short finned pilot, Sperm whale.
The species of mysticetes in the index: Blue, Bowhead, Bryde's, Fin, Grey, Humpback,
Minke, Northern right, Pygmy right, Right, Sei, Southern right whale.
