The discussions which arose about four years ago on the animal reported to have been seen on 6th August 1848, by Captain M'Quhae, the officers and crew of H.M.S. Dædalus, in the Southern Atlantic, between the Cape of Good Hope and St Helena, about 300 miles off the African shore, recalled my attention to the materials I had collected respecting the vast animal cast ashore on Stronsey, one of the Orkneys, in 1808.I was not there at the time, but copies of the depositions made by those who had seen and measured it were transmitted to me by order of Malcolm Laing, Esq., the historian of Scotland, on whose property it was stranded; and I obtained other notes from several individuals resident in Orkney.
