The Baleen whales Balaenoptera edeni, Balaenoptera musculus and the Megaptera novaeangliae
were reported from the Indian Coast. The skull of a B. edeni washed ashore in Dhanuskodi Island
in the Gulf of Mannar and that of Megaptera novaeangliae from the Malabar Coast were studied. The
identity of B. edeni was confirmed based on the study of its nasal bones. Biological significance of
the occurrence of whales washed ashore along the Indian Coast is also discussed.
