摘要："An occurrence of the rare beaked whale Mesoplodon densirostris is reported for the Bahama Islands. Measurements of the skull of this male specimen and its proportions are presented with those of three males from other parts of the North Atlantic Ocean, showing the relationship and variation. Photographs of skull, mandible, and teeth are presented. The reported occurrence of this species in the Gulf of Mexico is shown to be unfounded. The species['] range is thought to be not cosmopolitan, but pelagic in tropical and subtropical waters, from which sick or injured individuals may drift to colder shores"--P. 11.
