Summary: | p. 269-274. A 4th record of a stranded pygmy sperm whale (Kogia) from the Texas coast is reported and comparison made with other specimens. Considerable variation in proportions is noted and the suggestion made that a specimen from Galveston Island, Texas may be Kogia simus rather than K. breviceps. A limited number of internal structures were measured and an analysis of the stomach contents is included. http://gbic.tamug.edu/request.htm |
