 1867 on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, U.S. 



In October 1888 the Eev. Eobert J. Craig, the Manse of 

 Dalgety, most courteously wrote to tell me that the Earl of 

 Moray's under-gamekeeper, Mr Hugh Wilkie, had just found 

 a bottle-nosed whale, 15 feet long, in Dalgety Bay, near 

 Burntisland, on the north side of the Firth of Forth. 

 Thinking that the specimen might be a young Hyinroodon, 

 which not unfrequently enters the Forth at that season of 

 the year, I did not ask the animal to be sent entire to the 

 University, but only the head. On its arrival I found 

 that it was the head of Sowerby's whale. I immediately 

 instructed my assistant, Mr James Simpson, to go to Dalgety 

 and secure the rest of the carcase. Unfortunately, when he 

 arrived there, the blubber had been removed, but he procured 

 the skeleton and viscera.
