On Aug 16 a Finback whale was taken at Tyee Alaska which had a great quantity of herring in its stomach. The herring averaged about 8 inches in length. It was estimated that the stomach contained 3 1/2 to 4 lbs. of the fish. The stomach also con- tained a few of the shrimp, which, in their proper food, in more or less digested condition. Mr. [illegible] manager of the station, says that this is the first case of a Finback, containing fish of any sort, that has come under his notice. I measured the distance between the laminae of the baleen in a Finback Whale & found the plates to be 1/2 inch apart -- There was practically no variation, all the plates (except the very anterior & posterior ones) being the same distance apart
