A.C. ZIEGLER 1959 Baleenwhale Baleen OFF FREMON ISLANDS SAN FRANCISCO CO. CALIFORNIA Aug. 17 E.E. Rosenblum who works at Golden Gate Fishing Co. in Richmond salvaged a 3'x4', O(?) embryo from a 50 ft. Q boat into station. Locality given him was only "off Fremon Islands" but apparently person spot of capture of mother may have been within 2-50 mi. radius of islands. Boats may keep a secret location, though, locality but these data are not available to us now. Embryo was frozen Aug 17 and put in 10% formalin (a week injected) on Aug 31, 1959. No meas. were taken. AEZ# 1653. Aug.28 Rosenblum got in a chunk of about 20 baleen plates from a 46 ft. O? from location at lip & curve of plates they must have come from left side of upper jaw. Cut off a block of 10 for MVB & cleaned up a few single plates for myself. Rosie said the set whales are identified at the station by their long, fine, matted barbs on the inside of baleen plates. Rosie noted these plates were close to the longest found in this specimen.
