dolphinkind (uncountable)

- 1974, The Atlantic Monthly, volume 233, page 7:
- […] one dedicated to the notion that the proper study of dolphinkind is dolphin: a man who believes that any discoveries made about the mammals should remain private and not be put to cheap, practical use.
- 1995, Patricia Levy, Direct from Southwest Ireland: Kerry and West Cork, page 179:
- So there is something a little odd about this solitary animal, who rarely allows anyone to touch him and seems to have no need of other dolphinkind.
