That we have with us today the largest mammal that ever existed on the earth or in its waters is perhaps to most of us a fact unknown. Not even the giant Dinosaurs reptiles of prehistoric times this largest of the land animals Dinosaurs which reached the length of forty feet for their fore could equal ours size of today's the blue finned or whale, which are taken annually in the Atlantic by the Newfoundland ferrying whales along both coasts of North America. Significant that for more than a thousand years the history of the other nations of the world has been known and yet today their habits & specific relationships are only beginning to be known. With the advent of the harpoon gun & modern methods of capturing the whales of the world they have so far as such an alarming rate that the threat which nature to educational institutions such as some of our largest museums, are arousing to the point that there is imminent danger of this race of great mammals.
