The tow-nets on December 11 and 12 gave large quantities of small blue Salpx, 
along with Diatoms, Globigerina, Orhulina, Acanthometrse, Infusoria, &c. Whales and 
porpoises were seen ; two whales were observed to cross the mouth of Valj)araiso Harbour 
in company, the smaller one of which came to the surface at intervals of about tw’o 
hundred yards and rose right out of the water, sometimes exposing fully two-thirds of its 
body, when it gave a half turn and fell usually on its back or side, making a tremendous 
splash ; this it did about half a dozen times, mostly in the same manner.
