The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1851-04-29

L he above is an extract from the chart, which,
not being ready for publication, nevertheless affords
informa ton that | have thought might prove Of
value to the great national interests which at
tach to the American whaling business.
1t will appear from the above sample, that have
xamined the log-boois of whaers, who altogether,
have spent IA days in the district (N.) between
tho equator and deg. n. 80 deg. and 50 deg W.,
without ever having seen a whale, either sperm or
right within it whereas in the district (M.) that
joins 1t on the south, sperm whales have been seen
February, and March; and right whales never
and it appears that the district P, which joins this
one imme dately on the south, is frequented by the
sperm whale all the year round, but never by the
right.
If the information afforded by the great number
of vessels, whose logs have Glanced to be examined
for these districts, be fair sample of what the
whole would show, as it is supposed to be- then it
would appear altogether useless to look here for
right whales or in the first mentioned district (N)
either for right or sperm.
In the sample marked B, off the west coast Of
South America, between 40 deg. and 80 deg. s.,
district 90 is not much frcquented by the whalcrs
in May, June, and July, nor by the whales in
January, February, and March, except sperm,
which are most abundant in March, April, and
Augutt. Whether it be place Of much resort for
either kind in May, June, and July, We have not
found log books enough to show.
1t is almost Of as much importance for whacmen
to know where whales not to be found, as 10
know where they are for this is a case in which
negative information is almost as valuable as that
which is positive.
have therefore selected from the whale chart
those districts Of the ocean in which most whales
have been found in former years; whether they
have changed their places Of resort, my informa-
ton does not enable me to say.
But according to the chart, which is constructed
for the whole ocean, in the manner already OK
planned, these are places in which most whales have
been found, and which it may be supposed now
afford the best whaling grounds
