Records are plotted roughly by season: upper left: Winter (February-April); upper right: Spring (May); lower left: Summer (June-August); lower right: Autumn (September- October). Stars are positions for sightings listed in Table 4. individuals that had moved away from one of the local concentrations mentioned above (Mitchell and Kozicki 1975). The northernmost record for the west side of Davis Strait is a sighting 7 August 1906 at 67°04'N, 58°25'W, within sight of the east coast of Baffin Island, near Cape Dyer {Eclipse 1906). The southernmost record on the American east coast is of a capture near Newport, Rhode Island, at 41°30'N (Mitchell and Kozicki 1975). We have no definite evidence that Bottlenose Whales move west through Hudson Strait and into Hudson Bay. If such movement occurs at all, it is exceptional. In the Churchill post journal of the Hudson's Bay Company, the entry for 22 August 1771 states that the crew of the whaling brig Charlotte saw a Bottlenose Whale in and near the Churchill River (Hudson's Bay Company Archives, Winnipeg, Manitoba, 82d). Although Mitchell and Kozicki (1975) were skep- tical of Sergeant's (1961) suggestion that Bottlenose Whales winter in the Labrador Sea, British whalers commonly observed them at the South-West Fishing.
