The Director left New York on receipt ofa telegram that the porpoises were beached.On arrival he found that contrary to instruc-tions they had been left out of water twodays, and four of them had died. The twoexhausted survivors were immediately placedin a large tank, where they soon revived.Like those which had already died, both werecovered with great blisters
