The info. in brackets among the passage
no men's has been done by myself while
(while in Parentheses is his)
talking with John Rice. The two Antio-
tiottans on the diagrams were added more
subsequent to Rice also.
At some time earlier in the season
Rice had been on one of the boats
when it passed thru a group of this
species. None was taken as larger
whales were observed at this time.
I think Rice said there were about
20 whales in group and no I may not
have remembered number correctly.
It was a relatively large # than
Rice said the color of these whales
in water was not blackish but rather
a brown with a yellowish tinge.
Bill Maher collected a few white
lice (cymnos) from around lower jaw of
the present specimen just before we
boiled it. He also got a few inch long,
thin, pinkish (round) worms from just inside
blowhole. All of these were to be sent
by him to a prof. at U.C.L.A., or U.S.C., I
think. None was preserved here at V.I.c.
