1740- Two Gray Whale which were probably nursing their 
1800 calves were observed inside Pt. Conception. Both 
whales were noted in stationary positions. Each 
would breathe three or four times on the surface, 
then roll over on their sides. In this position 
the flipper and sometimes the flukes showed. . The 
distance between us and the whales prevented us 
from noting any young.

Dolphins were noted of various sizes, usually young 
and adults. All dorsal fins noted were dark in 
color. All other body colors appeared darker than 
other Delphinus we have noted. One outstanding 
dolphin was noted with a large patch of ’’white" 
posterior to the dorsal and one-third of the way 
down the side. Brownell attempted to collect the 
above dolphin without any luck.

first, dolphins jumping clear as they moved along; 
second, dark animals, whitish underside, jumping 
like Tursiops straight up out of the water, falling 
back into the water on their sides; third, large 
dorsal fins like female Orcinus.
