Locality symbols plotted on the map in Fig 1: O, possible Pachycetus (smaller circle); P, specimen referred to Pachycetus or a junior synonym (larger circle); T, type specimen of a species referred to Pachycetus (star). Label column here gives the number associated with each locality on the map in Fig 1.
