there are only a few light markings - infiorit of fins on breast & throat, 2nd light markings, uniformly slate gray like head - The light gray dashes extend forward in a narrow band and to [crossed out] a little in front of above eye - On the peduncle the light gray color predominates and is broken by darker in only a few places - Pectorals Right & Left are alike in color. Superiorly the distal 1/4 of fin is white - this extends backward along the posterior edge to the middle of fin - [crossed out] along the anterior edge for about 1/3 of the length of the fin - rest of upper surface dark gray. The dark gray of the above, runs down to exact median line of the anterior edge & there meets the white of the under surface. While under sur- face of fin white. The pectorals of this whale are colored like those in one of the figures given by True of the New- foundland Blue whales. It is rather unusual to see the white of the under surface overreaching on the tip of the fin above. I saw it in only one of, the Vancouver [illegible] specimens. Fins are like this: [handwritten diagram of a fin labeled gray, white]
