5. Notice of a Second Specimen of Sowerby' Whale (Mesoplodon bidens), from Shetland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Extract
The Shetland seas are frequented by several species of Ziphioid whales. Since the year 1870 I have come into possession of, and placed in the Anatomical Museum of the University of Edinburgh, the skull of Ziphius cavirostris, the skull and a large part of the skeleton of Hyperoodon rostratus, and the skull and almost complete skeleton of Mesoplodon bidens. They were all captured on the north-east side of the mainland of Shetland.
