As for the family in which it would be placed (baleen whale, sperm whale, or dolphin), the genus to which it belonged, and the species in which it would find its proper home, these questions had to be left for later.
En cuanto a la familia en que se inscribiera, ballena, cachalote o delfín, en cuanto al género del que formara parte, en cuanto a la especie a que hubiera que adscribirle, era una cuestión a elucidar posteriormente.
