Otto Geist, well known arche- ologist from the University of Alaska, always in search for new specimens for the University Mu- scum, is happy with the find of a rare whale at Kewalik, near Candle. MT. Geist has boned out the find and is shipping it to Fairbanks.

 This particular specimen had been in a fight recently with an- other narwhal, according to MT. Geist, because part of the other fellows tusk was embedded in his jaw.
 According to the Defresne re- ference the spiraled tusk is not usually used as weapon by the narwhal but may be used as a signal.
