<p>THE GREENLAND WHALE. This marine monster is the most important of its order, yielding both oil and whalebone in large <br>
quantities and of the best quality. In the northern parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Arctic seas this giant of the mighty deep <br>
makes its home, and is sometimes found in large numbers, although it is zealously hunted. The picture shows a female of the species attended <br></p>
by her young. The older animal is shown in the act of " blowing." (Balaena myslicetus.)
