published 1884
In 1884 the U.S. Life Saving Service started using the telegraph to notify the Smithsonian Institution when any unusual specimen was found. At Station 8 at Spring Lake, New Jersey, Mr. Henry Howland the Keeper of the Station found a pigmy sperm whale, which was entirely new to the North Atlantic, and apparently new to science as well. It has been provisionally named Kogia goodei. Few specimens of this genus have ever been collected, and these from the most remote parts of the globe, some from New Zealand, and one from Mazatlan at the entrance of the Gulf of California. These animals resemble the great sperm whale, to which they are closely related, but do not seem to attain a length of more than 9 or 10 feet, and are truly the pigmies of their race. The New Jersey specimen was peculiarly interesting in that it was a female with young. In dissecting the animal a fetus fully 3 feet long was found, which is probably the first ever seen.
