The Rorpoises killed in winter are
the latest and produce most oil. The
largest size measure about seven feet
in length. five feet in girth and weigh
about 300 pounds. Such pefpoise

The blubber of big porpoise weighs
about 100 pounds and is one and a

Ina winter. The jaws of the porpoise
yield superior quality of oil. When
