10 p.m. 35 no. 7 Blue Whale ♂ April 14/10 Oshima The length of this whale was the total of three sections. Color Body The top of the head is almost as light gray as are the markings -- it is solid color -- at blowholes it is darker -- the lighter markings extend (on left side) forward to the eye ending there in very small patches -- On the left side of the body as far as the end of the fin, the light color is almost solid, broken in only a few places by the darker ground color. On the sides of the pectoral from the fin backward to the flukes the light & dark colors are about equal in quantity -- the light color is in small patches -- just forward of flukes there is more dark than light -- Along the ridge of the back from fins to flukes the [illegible] dark color predominates -- but there are also many rather small light markings. -- On the sides the light markings follow downward along the ends of the furrows closely but do not run over one to the folds -- Just above the left fin the light color is almost solid -- The light gray mark-ings which follow the ends of the folds
