Abstract
THE profusely illustrated monograph before us is the second of a series, the first of which dealt with the Californian grey whale, Rhachianectes glaucus. In the same thorough way that he initiated in describing Rhachianectes Mr. R. S. Andrews now deals with the rorqual, Balaenoptera borealis. The result of his work is a much larger volume, which is due, first, to the greater mass of information which has accumulated concerning the better-known Balaenoptera borealis, and in the second place to an appendix in which Mr. Schulte publishes the data acquired by the investigation of a young fcetus of this whale. The two sections are approximately equal in length.
