My absence from home at the time prevented my seeing the 
specimen until the second morning after its capture, and by that 
time the skin had been removed and the dissection completed. I 
was able, however, to confirm the determination which had been 
made by my co-workers at the Cullercoats Laboratory that it was a 
fall-grown male example, and to make arrangements for the con- 
veyance of the skeleton to the Museum. It was then possible to see 
that there were eight teeth in each jaw, or thirty-two altogether. 
The fishermen at different parts of che north-east coast have 
reported that another White Whale Avas seen on several occasions 
during the summer.
