 to believe that oeeasioiuilly it runs up much further. It is a 
 species w.'ll known to tlie Gaspe whalers and often eaptured by 
 thom. Of coarse with so little material it is not po.ssible to bo 
 ab.-olutely certain as to tiie species, but I think it may safely be 
 referred to that above named. Tiie laruvr of the two vertebrae, 
 a lumb>r one, has the centrum eleven inches in transverse dia- 
 meter and is seven inches in length. Tlie smaller, a dorsal, is 
 ten inches in its lireater diameter and four in leii-th. Through 
 the kindness of Mr. Baker, the .specimens have been deposited 
 in the Peter Redpath Museum of McGill University.
