& if you have, would you have any objection to telling me what it is? 

Referring to the Cornwall skeleton, E. Billings writes as follows: "Judging from the figures & description published in Tilliman's Journal by the late Professor Thompson, there can be little doubt that ours is the same species as the one described by him under the name [[underlined]] Beluga Vermontana [[/underlined]]." But, it seems to me that Thompson never called it [[underlined]] Beluga Vermontana [[/underlined]].

It would be possible to send you the skull & bones from Pakenham, if you would like to see them. 

Very truly yours,
J. F. Whiteaves.
