This, approximately, is the result obtained among Fin whales (Fig. 153). The difference between the two maxima represents roughly the normal difference in length between the sexes. When we turn to the Blue whales we find that some of the curves are of quite an unexpected shape. In the 1926-7 season, when the majority were fully grown, the curves are of the normal type found in Fin whales with one marked apex for each sex, but in the preceding seasons
