Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fig. 187.—A, Sternum of Greenland Right Whale (Balaena mysticetus). × 1⁄15. B, Sternum of Common Rorqual or Fin Whale (Balaenoptera musculus). × 1⁄10. (From Flower's Osteology.)


Clearly Beddard is following 19th century practice of applying Balaenoptera musculus to the Common Rorqual or Fin Whale subsequently redesignated B. physalus (Linnaeus, 1758), while B. musculus (Linnaeus, 1758) is properly the Blue Whale.
