APPENDIX II 



PARTICULARS OF THE COLLECTIONS OF OVARIES, 1934-6 



In the tables given below the ovaries received from Antarctic whaling grounds are 

 listed according to the ships which sent them. The tables give the serial number of each 

 pair of ovaries, the date when it was taken, the ship's position at the time, length of the 

 whale from which it came in English feet (whenever available), and the number of 

 corpora lutea found. When the corpora lutea number is printed in italics it indicates that 

 pregnancy with one foetus is shown by the corpora; when printed in clarendon it 

 indicates twins. A dash ( — ) means that the ovaries were missing when the barrel was 

 opened, or that the ovaries had become separated, and detached from the label, or were 

 too damaged and decomposed to be used.
