 in 1850. 



The same year (1S6G), Peters* recognized fourteen species 

 (three of them were treated as doubtful), as follows: 1. Otaria 

 julata; "?2. Otaria leonina n (=0. julata); 3. Otaria godefroyi (n. 

 sp. = 0. julata); 4. u '? Otaria lyronia" (=Phoca lijronitt, Blain- 

 ville, = 0. julata) ; 5. Otaria Looker!; G. Otaria til lot i' (= 0. 

 nUoa\ vonTschudi, = 0. julata, fern.); 7. Otaria pusilla (= Petit 

 Phoque, Buffon, Phoca pusilla, Schreber, Otaria delalandi, F.Cu- 

 vier, etc.); 8. Otaria cinerea (=" 0. cincrca, Peron and Lesueur, 

 Quoy and Gaiinard " ; " 0. stelleri, Schlegel," in part,etc.) ; I 9. 

 Otaria falklandica (= Arctocephahts falklandicus, auct.); 10. 

 Otaria n ruin a ( = Calhrliinus ursiHiis); 11. Otaria stelleri (Eume- 

 topias stelleri} ] 12. Otaria gillespi (=ZalopJius calif ornianus) ; 13. 

 Otaria lobata (= Arctoceplialus hiatus, Gray, 1828, Otaria aus- 

 tralis, Quoy and Gaimard, 1830, 0. stelleri, " Schlegel," in 

 part, = Zalophm hiatus) ; 14. Otaria pliilippii (n. sp. = Arcto- 

 cepJialusfalMandicus, auct.). Six months later, on again review- 

 ing the group,! the same writer reduced the number of species 

 to ten. In this paper he referred the 0. lyronia, 0. leonina, and 

 0. yodeffroyi of his former paper to O.julata, and his 0. pliilippii 

 to 0. falklandica. 0. ullow is still retained as a valid species, 

 and u Otaria stelleri, Schlegel," is determined to be the 0. 

 t/HlcNpi, M'Bain. 



In ISGSf Dr. Gray described as a new species Arctoceplialus 

 itirosits (= A. antarcticus, s. pusillus) from the Cape of Good 

 Hope, and Professor Turner added, as a new species, Arcfo- 

 ceplialm sclnstliyperoes (later corrected to scMstuperus by Giin- 

 ther), from Desolation Island, considered later by Gray,|| after 

 an examination of the type, to be referable to his A. delalandi 

 (therefore = A. antarcticus). M'Bain, the sameyear,^ described 

 an imperfect skull of what he called " 0. idiom?" (= Otaria 

 julata, fern.), adding that in case it proved to be a new species it 

 might be called " 0. graii. n

 established, but gave two more as probably valid, the latter
