Abstract
IN the whaling ports which furnished the fleets of the nineteenth century lie many log-books containing records of long years of whale fishing. Charles H. Townsend has struck upon the happy idea of using the old records (in New Bedford Public Library alone there are hundreds of log-books) to obtain information regarding the great whaling grounds, the numbers of whales slain, the position and month of capture, and so on (Bull. New York Zool. Soc., Nov. Dec. 1931, p. 173).
