Fishermen at Lurin, 25 miles from
Lima, reported a htige cetacean
floundering in the shallow waters ot
the bay. Then they sent out word
it was an unkonwn monster of the
sea, and that they had killed It.
The director of the Natural His
tory Museum of the University of
San .Marcos and the official taxlaei-
mist made a trip to Lurin for the
purpose of studying and classifying
the strange visitor. They found
animal with the body of a white, but
with a head and extremities
sembling those of a turtle. After
examination they came to the
elusion that it belonged to the family
of “Balaenidae” cetaceans, inhabit
ing the South Pacific waters. It is
supposed that it was carried along
by the Humboldt current and thrown
the beach by the tremendous
surfs following the tidal waves of the
Chilean earthquake.
The specimen will be brought back
