Abstract
    The southern boundary of the distributional range of the short-finned pilot whale, Globicephala macrorhynchus Gray, 1846, is extended up to Paposo (250 03' S), Chile. Craneal measurements given by Kasuya (1975) are compared with those found by the authors for G. melaena and G. macrorhynchus. G. macrorhynchus becomes the second Pilot Whale species from the genus Globicephala described for chilean waters.
