Mammals: 
The interesting form of Delphinus was again recorded in the grid area. 
Two attempts to collect this animal failed. Both animals were killed and 
subsequently lost in the time required for the larger ship to return to 
the area. Attempts with new methods will be used during future surveys 
to collect this and other small cetacea. 
The presence of Blue Whales in the area is interesting. These animals 
are generally found near Baja in June, but none were seen in that area this 
past June by Dale Rice of Marine Mammal Laboratory, BCF, USF & WS. Since 
the animals failed to follow normal distributional patterns early in the 
summer, their presence here at this time may not be normal. 
Mammal observations are included as individual observations. Further 
work vill be done with these data at a later date.
