As the skeleton is now exhibited it is as follows: Everything is from the original whale except - the ribs - the phalanges, the dermatus, & the pelvici bones. Skull (I took these measure myself) from the cleaned skeleton Length (condyles to tip straight below) : 600 Breadth (squamosal) greatest = 290 Length rostrem (from proximal end of maxilla) straight = 500 Length nasals (median) = 35. " mandibles (straight) = 580 " " (curved) = 575. Depth " at center = 45, " " " coronoid (straight) = 80 Width orbital process of frontal, = 30 " of squamosal = 120 " of rostrem at middle (straight): 170 Depth of skull vertex to lower edges pterygoids = 110 Scapula Height: 91 Breadth: 150 Length across (lower edge) : 45. Length coronoid (lower edge) = 281 Breadth g.f. Length skeleton (as mounted) = 2370 Radius length = 105 - breadth distally = 33 - Length ulna: 99 breadth ulna distally : 24 Length humerus : 68 Length 1st rib: 150 straight " " " (curved) : 170 Breadth " " (distally) : 18
