HALICIIQERUS GRYPUS GRAY SEAL. 689 



this view, but if the animal were measured along the curvature 

 of the body instead of in a straight line between the two extrem- 

 ities,/ the dimensions given would not be too large for a full- 

 grown female P. fcetida. The figures show it could not have 

 been Phoca vitul'ma, while Haliclioerns yrypus is entirely out of 

 the question; for the phrase "parvi, veluti tricuspides, inu- 

 croue medio inajore " cannot be applied to the large, conical, 

 single-pointed molars of Halichcerus, even if we had not the- 

 figures to show the small size and .tricuspid character of the 

 teeth.
