Specimens to Be Hunted in
Gull ol Mexico
Washington, March 22. To shoot
porpoises as they come into the
shallow off-shore waters la the un
usual aim of a scientific expedition
to the Oulf of Mexico, undertaken
by P. Gerrit S. Miller. Jr., mammal
ogist of the Smithsonian Institu
tion. Fishermen of Cedar Keys,
Florida, report that herds of this
sea-going mammal have a habit of
coming Into shallow water at low
tide. Thus if they 'con be shot, tit
shallowness of the water will prevent
them from being lost to the hunter.
While Dr. Miller considers this
method of catching porpoises a good
ideal of an experiment, he hopes that
I it it fails, some specimens will be

'point is the purpose of Dr. 'Miller's
