		Stejneger's beaked whales are found in continental slope and oceanic waters of the North Pacific Basin, from southern California, north to the Bering Sea, and south to the Sea of Japan.

	Stejneger's beaked whale Description
		Stejneger's beaked whales are not seen at sea very often.
		Males are quite easy to identify as they have two massive teeth in the middle of their lower jaw which stick out on either side of their beak.
		Stejneger's beaked whales live in small groups (5 - 15) of animals of different ages and sexes.

		Stejneger originally described the species from the type specimen taken near Fresno, Fresno County, California.
		Cope in 1900 placed the blunt-nosed leopard lizard as a sub-species of the common leopard lizard Crotaphytus wislizenii (Baird and Girard) because of inconsistencies in the distinguishing morphology criteria used by Stejneger.
		Finally, Montanucci, Axtell, and Dessauer in 1975 concluded that Gambelia/Crotaphytus seperation was valid based on cytogenetic and habitat adaptation differences and placed both the common and blunt-nosed leopards in the genus Gambelia at full species level, thus the present commonly recognized name of Gambelia silus for the blunt-nosed leopard lizard (06,07,08,11,24).

		One of the three is the smooth-necked alligator lizard, Gerrhonotus levicollis levicollis (Stejneger), from western and southern Chihuahua and recorded originally from the "Mexican Boundary", but has not been found along the Arizona and New Mexico-Mexico borders since.
		This letter of October 12, 1905 was located in the USNM archives by Dr. George Zug, Assistant Curator of the Division of Reptiles and Amphibians.
		The lizards were preserved and later forwarded to Dr. Stejneger for identification, and he subsequently described them in 1906 as Phrynosoma ditmarsi Stejneger, naming them after his colleague Raymond Ditmars.

	Unidentified Gadfly Petrel, Maui 2003
		Angus -- It looks like a Stejneger's Petrel to me. I attach a couple photos of specimens from CAS that I took years ago; the film is starting to turn color but it still shows some points well.
		It has the appropriate amount of fl on the head (most like the top bird in the specimens below) that nicely contrasts with gray back; it has the right tail pattern (rather wedge-shaped, flest on centrals, and pale grayish outers); the right underwing; and the right bill.
		Stejneger's has a rather thick bill compared to somewhat thinner bills on Cook's/Pycroft's (plus the latter is short billed).

	Mesoplodon stejnegeri, Stejneger's Beaked Whale at MarineBio.org
		Stejneger's beaked whale, Mesoplodon stejnegeri (True, 1885), (aka Saber-toothed beaked whale, Bering Sea beaked whale, North Pacific beaked whale) ranges in length from 3-7 m, usually averaging longer than 5.3 m.
		The bodies of the males are often scarred from the tusks, which are used during competitions for females during mating season.
		Stejneger's beaked whale, Mesoplodon stejnegeri, is found from the Bering Sea to the coasts of California and Japan in deep, temperate waters of the Northern Pacific Ocean far from shore.

		He stated that the subfamily is represented by one endemic genus, Phaeornis, apparently derived from the American solitaires of the genus Myadestes, as Stejneger (1889) concluded, and emphasized by naming the Kaua'i form Phaeornis myadestina.
		Some authors suggested the Polynesian Turdus poliocephalus was the ancestor of Phaeornis, but Amadon reinvestigated the question and came to the same conclusion as Stejneger.
		Pratt (04) reviewed the classification noting that Stejneger (08) compared the kama'o with Townsend's solitaire (Myadestes townsendi) stating that "were it not for different proportions of wing, tail, and legs, the two birds could hardy be separated generically".

		Although Stejneger was most known for his work in herpetology and Dall in mollusks, they were part of a body of researchers who contributed to the study of marine mammals whenever possible.
		Baird also was implemental in the forming of the United States Fish Commission in 1871 and became the first director of that commission.
		He is best known for his contributions on mysticetes (1904 The whalebone whales of the western North Atlantic) and the beaked whales (1910 An account of the beaked whales of the family Ziphiidae).

	Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Leonhard H. Stejneger
		Stejneger, who had always had an interest in zoology, emigrated to the United States in 1881 when the family business went under in Norway.
		He soon attracted the attention of Spencer Baird at the Smithsonian and began working under the supervision of the ornithologist Robert Ridgway.
		Stejneger specialized in vertebrate natural history studies; although he started out working primarily on birds he gained his greatest reputation with reptiles and amphibians, also studying mammals.

		At one point the collections of the Smithsonian were given to the Library of Congress on deposit, but some of those materials have since been returned to SI.
		Leonard Stejneger, the curator of the Division of Amphibians and Reptiles from the 1890's to the early 1940's was a bibliophile, and a personal collector, who also bought and gave many volumes and reprints to the division.
		This pattern of giving was followed by Doris Cochran, and James A. Peters, who had became curator in 1964.
