A.P. ZIEGLER 1959 Berrendo Bay, Ca. are Farrallon Islands, San Francisco Co., Calif. Seal: D (cont.) 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.
