Abstract
DURING the night of Sunday, May 6, a school of cetaceans was stranded at Whiteford Sands, Llanmadog, on the Gower coast of Glamorgan. We visited the spot as soon as possible and found twenty-one specimens, which we identified as False Killers, Pseudorca crassidens (Owen). Mr. M. A. C. Hinton, who has examined one of the skulls, agrees with the identification. It was possible to make a more or less detailed examination of these and to procure some material for this Museum; another specimen, which was not reported to us until later, was some distance away and we did not have an opportunity of examining it.
