Excerpt from The Scottish Naturalist, 1919: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to Zoology
Of our twenty individuals, ten were landed during the month of june, the rest from April to September; eight in 1912, seven in 1913, and two, one, two respectively in 1909, 1910, and 1911. Fourteen out of the twenty were females, or 70 per cent. Of the whole.
The lengths of the males varied from 13 to 22 feet; of the females from 16 to 25 feet. The median values were, respectively, 18% and 21 feet, and the arithmetical means 17-8 and 20-7 feet. The mean length, for both sexes together, was 19-8 feet. From this it would appear that not one of our Bottlenoses was full grown, for specimens are recorded up to and a little over 30 feet long.
