7 Flehes Superiorly: Above dark gray. Inferiorly flehes are marked with rather coarse white lines - which run from ant. edge & curve inward almost reaching posterior margin as in the Van. specimen - The central area of flehes is very light (caused by the white lining) except the tip which is dark. Both lobes are the same in color - Dorsal Gray (light) caused by many many light gray lines which run from anterior edge (indian) diagonally downward & backward over sides - a scar near lip - (photographed) Jaw external character Inside right ramus of mandible, prox imal 1/2 very light bluish gray, distal 1/2 bluish white. Tongue bluish slate as in Van. speci- mens. Mucous membrane in roof of mouth indigo as in Van. specimens. External Character Many of the "scar" like spots on the peduncle and on back, sides proximal half of top of head. These "scars" were like those which I observed on the Vancouver Erbbacks & on one or two of the Blue Whales - also on one or two Alaska Humpbacks. I can see no other origin for them except that they may be due to the action of parasitic copepods. Fine creases run up from the posterior insertion of fin across its base for 2/3 of the way,
