These occurrences have some- times proved eras in the science, and we shall there- fore give a list of the principal of those we have met with in the records of Cetology.

I. 481); and Captain Clarke measured the skeleton of one near the Columbia River, which extended to one hundred and five feet. Allowing five or six feet for the tail, this appears to be the largest animal of which we have an accurate measurement (Travels to ike Missouri by Captains Lewis and Clarke, p. 422).
