Howard P. Vincent frst consulted Melville’s copy for Te Trying-out of Moby-Dick (1949), where he observed that most of Melville’s marginalia had been erased from the book. Judging “not many words were erased,” Vincent expressed hope for “a future examination of the markings under infra-red rays.”1 But in Melville’s Marginalia, Walker Cowen deciphered many of Melville’s erased markings without technical assistance, and although he did not recover many of Melville’s erased words, Cowen showed that the book had once been heavily annotated.2 With fnancial support from the William Reese Company and Boise State University, technical assistance at the Fogg Art Museum, and support from staf at Houghton Library, I worked collaboratively with Dennis C.

  • Physeter Macrocephalus – Sperm Whale
    Physeter macrocephalus – Sperm Whale Assessment Rationale Although the population is recovering, commercial whaling in the Antarctic within the last three generations (82 years) reduced the global abundance of species significantly. As commercial whaling has ceased, the species is evaluated under the A1 criterion. Model results revealed a 6% probability for Endangered, a 54% probability of Vulnerable, and a 40% probability of Near Threatened. Thus, the species is listed as Vulnerable A1d based on historical decline in line with the global assessment. Circumpolar surveys estimate around 8,300 mature males, which is extrapolated to around 40,000 Peter Allinson individuals in total. Within the assessment region, the historical depletion may have created a skewed sex ratio, which may make this species more vulnerable to minor Regional Red List status (2016) Vulnerable A1d* threats. For example, systematic surveys from the National Red List status (2004) Vulnerable A2bd Antarctic showed no significant population increase between 1978 and 1992. Recent modelling results Reasons for change No change corroborate the Sperm Whale’s slow recovery rate, where Global Red List status (2008) Vulnerable A1d a small decrease in adult female survivorship could lead to a declining population. Ongoing loss of mature individuals TOPS listing (NEMBA) (2007) None from entanglement in fishing nets and plastic ingestion CITES listing (1981) Appendix I could be hindering population recovery in certain areas.
