It is a new version of "whales of the North Atlantic, Biology and

chapter on the mounting of whales skeletons and the common errors
usually found in rorqual skeletons mounted in various museums has
been added, lots of pictures have been changed , which add more than
100 pages to the book. As in the previous edition, enmphasis is put
