to believe that oeeasioiuilly it runs up much further. It is a
species w.'ll known to tlie Gaspe whalers and often eaptured by
thom. Of coarse with so little material it is not po.ssible to bo
ab.-olutely certain as to tiie species, but I think it may safely be
referred to that above named. Tiie laruvr of the two vertebrae,
a lumb>r one, has the centrum eleven inches in transverse dia-
meter and is seven inches in length. Tlie smaller, a dorsal, is
ten inches in its lireater diameter and four in leii-th. Through
the kindness of Mr. Baker, the .specimens have been deposited
