(b) Complete treatment of the carcasses of "Dauhval" and of 

 whales used as fenders will not be required in cases where the meat 

 or bone of such whales is in bad condition. 



13. The taking of whales for delivery to a factory ship shall be so 

 regulated or restricted by the master or person in charge of the fac- 

 tory ship that no whale carcass (except of a whale used as a fender) 

 shall remain in the sea for a longer period than thirty-three hours 

 from the time of killing to the time when it is taken up on to the deck of 

 the factory ship for treatment. All whale catchers engaged in taking 

 whales must report by radio to the factory ship the time when each 

 whale is caught. 



14. Gunners and crews of factory ships, land stations, and whale 

 catchers shall be engaged on such terms that their remuneration shall 

 depend to a considerable extent upon such factors as the species, size, 

 and yield of whales taken, and not merely upon the number of the 

 whales taken. No bonus or other remuneration shall be paid to the 

 gunners or crews of whale catchers in respect of the taking of milk- 

 filled or lactating whales. 



15. Copies of all official laws and regulations relating to whales 

 and whaling and changes in such laws and regulations shall be trans- 

 mitted to the Commission. 



16. Notification shall be given in accordance with the provisions 

 of Article VII of the Convention with regard to all factory ships and 

 land stations of statistical information (a) concerning the number of 

 whales of each species taken, the number thereof lost, and the number 

 treated at each factory ship or land station, and (b) as to the aggregate 

 amounts of oil of each grade and quantities of meal, fertilizer (guano) , 

 and other products derived from them, together with (c) particulars 

 with respect to each whale treated in the factory ship or land station 

 as to the date and approximate latitude and longitude of taking, the 

 species and sex of the whale, its length and, if it contains a foetus, 

 the length and sex, if ascertainable, of the foetus. The data referred 

 to in (a) and (c) above shall be verified at the time of the tally and 

 there shall also be notification to the Commission of any information 

 which may be collected or obtained concerning the calving grounds 

 and migration routes of whales. 



In communicating this information there shall be specified : 



(a) the name and gross tonnage of each factory ship ; 



(b) the number and aggregate gross tonnage of the whale 

 catchers ; 



(c) a list of the land stations which were in operation during 

 the period concerned. 



17. Notwithstanding the definition of land station contained in 

 Article II of the Convention, a factory ship operating under the juris- 

 diction of a Contracting Government, and the movements of which 

 are confined solely to the territorial waters of that Government, shall 

 be subject to the regulations governing the operation of land stations 

 within the following areas : 



(a) on the coast of Madagascar and its dependencies, and on 

 the west coasts of French Africa ; 



(b) on the west coast of Austrialia in the area known as Shark 

 Bay and northward to Northwest Cape and including Exmouth 

 Gulf and King George's Sound, including the port of Albany;
