500 |a "In the month of August 1817, it was currently reported on various authorities, that an animal of very singular appearance has been recently and repeatedly seen in the harbour of Gloucester, Cape Ann, about thirty miles distant from Boston ... In consequence of these reports, at a meeting of the Linnaean Society of New England, holden in Boston on the 18th day of August, the Hon. John Davis, Jacob Bigelow, M.D. and Francis C. Gray, Esq. were appointed a Committee to collect evidence with regard to the existence and appearance of any such animal. The following report made by that Committee is now published by order of the Society": page [3].
