4. On the Capture of a Sperm Whale on the Coast of Argyleshire, with a Notice of other Specimens caught on the Coast of Scotland
In the autumn of last year, whilst spending a few days in the neighbourhood of Oban, I visited Dunstaffnage, and in the courtyard of the Castle saw the two halves of the lower jaw-bone of a sperm-whale.

On inquiry, I learned that they were the relics of a whale captured some years ago in the neighbouring sea. From some of the older inhabitants of Oban I gleaned some particulars respecting this animal; and as no record of its capture has as yet found a place in zoological literature, I am induced, as the sperm-whale so very seldom visits our shores, to communicate a brief notice to the Society. |
