On June 21st left Sechelt on the steamer "Teed" for Kyugust B.C. reaching the station there on the morning of June 24th. When I arrived from Amphib, was an asleep, and at 5:30 the same afternoon the whaling steamer "St. Lawrence" returned towing a Slephubottom. Mr. [illegible], manager of its station, kindly had the whole pulled out on a slip, + left until the next morning, thus giving me an exceptional opportunity for close study on the specimens. No. 25 - At Slephubottom June 24 of August/3C. Color - Top of head, back half way to pect- orale insertion, or about a foreste ear, is dark blue-gray - throat, chin + lips, of same color - no spots on top of head - back + sides from ear to flukes is a blue grey much lighter than the color on head - from eye to ear is a rather narrow band of fine, irregular speckly spots of ash color - larger spots with irregular edges & of all shapes & sizes (but for the most part 2 or 3 inches long) cover the upper beef of the sides + backs to flukes. The spots are small + very thick from eye to pectoral + above it, making an almost solid area of ash. The markings sweep up on the base of the pectoral, then' only a few turning downwards beyond parters
