Having a couple of Roland Watson’s books in my personal library (which I strongly recommend) and having corresponded with him for his opinion and thoughts in my own research, I can assure the reader that Watson has a significant knowledge of the history and current thought on the subject of the Loch Ness Monster (LNM) and other unidentified aquatic megafauna of the area. I would suggest this paper would benefit, and the proposals strengthened, with a greater and more consistent application and methodology (Heuvelmans, 1988) and a greater effort towards explanations of any imbalance.

As a result, books not only have an important role in providing historical information and more current data and theory but are also preferable over other sources as the reader can evaluate the value of a book by the author’s approach and sources. There are many cryptozoological titles but not they are not equal in contribution.

The video record suggests the possibility of large, formally un-described marine animals in proximity to the eastern Pacific Ocean coasts and associated waterways.
