Zool Mag, LIV (12), pp 466-473, 7 fig, Dec 1942, 
Northern porpoise whales visit the coastal watere off Shirahama, Chiba Prefecture, 
from June to October, and many are caught by small whale boats, Males and females 
show no significant difference in length, but unlike most other toothed whales 
the females grow heavier than the males, as do most whalebone and sperm whales, 
This species leaves a permanent record of all ovulations in the form of a corpus 
luteum in the ovaries, The females become sexually mature when about 10 meterg 
long.
