Dear colleagues,

a few days ago I found a stranded dead pregnant harbor porpoise with
the foetus laying with the head (cephalic) presentation. As far as I
understand, it is a rather rare case for cetaceans. The most recent
review I have found in literature had been made by Slijper (1967).

Thus, I would be very grateful for your comments: do you know such
cases in phocoenids (especially, harbour porpoises) and/or any
published reports of such cases?

Please send your comments to the following address:

Thank you very much in advance,

Dr Pavel E. Gol'din,
