I do not have the reference books needed to look up the Latin names for
these cetaceans. This is a matter of going through one of several books and
jotting down each one. I would recommend The World's Whales by Minasian and
Balcomb, but there are others. They can all be found on the WhaleNet
bibliography. Maybe you can find a Dutch reference source to get the Dutch
names.
Good luck.
