This whale was drawn out upon the slip I measured carefully.
Color General color slate. Just in front of the seminabilites is a semicircle of gray (light) the convexity backward. That is, the mark curves backward from the mane on the sides. (The same mark on same position, in the Van do. specimen.) A few light gray dashes along upper edge of forehead & just below eye on the side of the head. The upper half of the lower jaw is white - the upper lip is white marked with dark spots.
There is a marked dip just behind the head in the middle of its back.
