Sperm Whales are bovines? I never knew.
Not what I said. I said (bovine) calves’ head was said to cause the epicures to lose there marbles.
I have been carefully trying to say that these are full bovine heads and making every effort to distinguish them from whale brains
OTOH, I did misread Meleville to say that the (bovine) calves’ heads lowered, rather that raised the schmarts of the epicures.
The whale in that chapter, the one that raised the topic, was a adult, not a (whale) calf.
Not that it’s confusing to use the same word to describe the young of an ungulate and the young of an animal that doesn’t even have legs...
