NATURE NOTES, JULY 1930 I

The month proved hot and dry, and .l‘. our district the crops suffered to some extent. The ininfall was 2.45 ‘ZICIICS, but may have been greater in other places as I heard of local shoal‘- crs elsewhere. Electric storms occur- red on the 8th, 18th. loih and 25th. and Aurorae were VIaIIIIC almost evcry evening from the 24th to the end of till-l month, so that sunspats, with which they are intimately associated, must have been as numerous. If a complete record of damage done by electric storms were kcpt, we would, l think. be amazed at the annual toll taken by lightning in the province.

In last month's "notes" the writer

or Whales, and hoped to makc fur- 1 lhar remarks on the gcnera which oc- Icaslonally visit our shores. while out-

‘ilwal-dly resembling the fishes, these

‘creatures have many points of dis-

tinction which prove them to belong lo the higher group of the Mammalia. “The young are brought forth alive, instead of being hatched from eggs; they are suckled by means of teats. of which the female animal has two, one on each sldc of the hindquarters. As the young cannot suck under wat- er, the teats are provided with pow- erful ejector musclm by which the milk is squirted into the mouth of the "calf." Again, the blood of the whale tribe is red and warm, not, as in the ﬁshes a colorless cold ichor. To aerate this red blood the animal must. come to the surface to breathe, and the Jet of mingled steam and water

signal for the whallfs undoing. Last- ly we may note that the flukcs of its toil are set on horizontally, and no vertically like those of the fishes, thus approximating to some others of the higher marine carnivorous Mammalia.

The wholes fall naturally into two groups: those with teeth and those without. The later are the "whale- bonc" whales, which have plates of baleen as straincrs to retain thc small ﬁsh that. form their food, while per- mitting the ejection of the sca water taken into the mouth at the some time According to evolutionary science, each individual of any race passes through all the stages which the race has prsscd through in its sccula: history, and it is n signiﬁcant fact that baleen whales, up to a certain stage of their foetal life, are possess- ed of teeth which are, however, rc- sorbed ‘before the foetus comes to birth. This evidence would tend to show that these animals are a. modi- ﬁcation or perhaps even a. degrada- tion, of some higher form.

While the genera of the Cetaoca are closely defined, the species arc often dubious and it. is easy to sec why. In the case of the smaller mam- mals most museums have extensivc collections which are easy of access to scientists; hence speciﬁc and varic- tal differences are readily found. The reverse is true of the whales. Their huge size precludes any large col- llection and those wno sccl: them in their native haunts are commonly more concerned with their economic rather than their scientiﬁc value. However, some‘ advance has ban made within the last fiftv yCfilYi, and

larger, straighter legged, and in turn produce-better pelts and make sur-

er breeders. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

We invite you

to come visit our ranch at Slimmcrside and see for yourself.

as it clears it nostrils is often the,

with this preamble f pu: before my readers n list cf our five known species.

‘The baleen whales are the Romual and the Hump-back Whale; the toothed cetaceuis are the Blucknsh. the Porpoise and the Beluga.

'17"? 1701111181 or Finner Whale (Bal- lienoptera musculus) attains a length of 100 feat, but is usually e0 m- 70: its body is slender and elongated. The head is small, flat and pointed 1n front, and the skin of the throat pli- cated. The baleen is coarse and short. The dorsal fin ls small and sickle-' shapecLand the pectoral limbs (thc homologue of the fore limbs in other animals) have an internal bony structure of four “flngerﬂ and are‘ small, narrow and pointed. The "blub- ber," for which this and the nexti whale is captured, is a fatty ooverlpg l designed lo protest the animal from the coldof Arctic seas.

The Hump-back Whale (Megap- tera . . . . ..?l has many doubtful spec- ies, so that I give the generic name only. The adult ls from 45 to 50 feet long, and much more corpulent than the previous whale. The head is of moderate size, and the baleen plates short and broad. The skin of the throat is conspicuously pllcated. The dorsal (back) fin Is low. and the pec- toral limbs (also "four fingered" in their bony structure) are vary long, narrow and indented. They are about one-quarter the length of the entire animal; about. l2 feet in the adult stage, and may either be white. or (like the body) black. A full grown Hump-back yields about 75 barrels cf oil.

,.» The Blackﬁsh (Globiocephalus mel- as) attains a length of 2O feet. and B of a uniform black color, except the middle of the under surface which is lighter. The cranial portion of the skull is broad and depressed, and ter- minates in a. broad flat. rostrum or beak, the brain pan and rostrum be- ing of about equal length. The head of the animal appears very round In front owing to a. well- developed cush- ion of fat just before the blow-hole, the rostrum however remaining dis- tinct. There are from 8 to l2 teeth In each jaw, these being small, conical and curved; they are sometimes de- ciduous ln age. The dorsal ﬁn is low and triangular, the length of the base much exceeding the height, and the pectoral limb ls long. narrow and "ﬁve-ﬁngered." the first, fourth and ﬁfth "ﬁngers" being very short. This and the following toothed cetaaccns go in droves, and are destructive es- pecially to shoals of herring and mackerel, which they follow. All yield oil. The "Porpolse" of our coasts is avi- dentiy one of the Dolphins (Delph- inusl a. wide and heterogeneous group. of which I can only give the general characters. None exceed 10 fort. In length. The rostrum is elong- ated in some species (the Bottle-nos- ed Dolphins) and shorter in others; always longer than the cranial por- tion of the skull however, and pointed in front. The teeth are small, pointed and slightly curvcd, and are numer- ous. more than twenty occupying each Jaw. The dorsal fin when present is rather large, and may be triangu- lar. sickle-shaped or absent, accord- ing to species. The pectoral limbs are moderate in size, narrow, falcate ‘and pointed; the first “ﬁngeﬂ ls very rudimentary, and the fourth and fifth extremely short. From the meag- re accounts of these occasional visi- tants, one cannot. be sure of their species, but as the white-beaker Dol-

phln lDelphlnus alblrostrls) and the whltesided Dolphin (D. lencopleurus) lire both found in the North Atlantic. future specimens may be recognized by these characters.

The last on the list of our whales ls the Beluga or White Whale (Delphin- aplerus leucas). This animal l: gan- erally about 12 feet long, though it may sometimes run a. little longer. The fore part of the head ls rounded off
