. Discovery reports. Discovery (Ship); Scientific expeditions; Ocean; Antarctica; Falkland Islands. Total Length in metres Fig. 13. Sperm whale. Measurement No. 21. Greatest width of Fig. a 10 12 14 16 Total Length in metres 14. Sperm whale. Measurement No. 25. Height of head. this table and these figures, and include those obtained from whales both at South Georgia and South Africa; they indicate a homogeneous population and no admixture of races with structural differences. COLOUR The coloration was recorded in seventy Sperm whales, sixty males and ten females. In 70 per cent of these whales the colour was a nearly uniform slate grey or dark bluish grey all over the body, with the exception of specific white or light grey markings; in 25-7 per cent the colour was considerably lighter on the under surface of the head and lower jaw, and in 4-3 per cent it was conspicuously lighter over the greater part of the ventral surface (Plate IV, figs. 1-3)..
