I 



1 icing- Arctocephalus cinereus, Gray (Australia and New Zealand), 

 and .1. antarcticus^ Gray (Cape of Good Hope). The others are : 

 1. Otaria jiibata (under which was wrongly included 0. Jiookeri, 

 Gray); 2. Eumctopias stclleri ; 3. Zaloplius gillespi ; 4. Zaloplius 

 lobatus ; 5. Callorliinus ursinus ; G. ArGtoc&phalus falklandicus. 



In 1871, Phih'ppi and Peters* added Arctoceplialus (Arcto- 

 j>ln>c) nryentata, a Fur Seal from the island of Juan Fernandez 

 ( = Arctoceplialus australis, fem.). The latter here divided the 

 Fur Seals of South America into four species, two of which (A. 

 falldandwa and A. nigrescens) are from the Atlantic Ocean and 

 two (A. argentata and A.pMlippn) from the Pacific. 



The same year (1871) Grayt recognized thirteen species of 

 Eared Seals, as follows : 1. Otaria julata (embracing 0. leonina, 

 of Gray and Peters, and 0. yodeffroyi, 0. lironia, 0. ullow of 

 Peters). 2. Callorhinns ursinus. 3. Pliocarctosliookeri. 4. Arcto- 

 ceplialus antarcticus (Cape of Good Hope = Plioca antarctica, 

 Thunberg, 1811, and Plioca [s. Otaria] pusilla and (lelalandi, 

 auct.). ^.Arctoceplialus nigrescens (=A. auxtralis). G. Arcto- 

 ceplialus cinereus. 7. Arctoceplialus for ster I ("New Zealand, "= 

 "Phoca ursina-j Forster," = Otaria forsteri, Lesson, formerly re- 

 ferred by him to his A. falMandicus !}. 8. Arctoceplialux falk- 

 landicus. 9. u Arctoceplialus? nivosus r (=A. antarcticus). 10. 

 Zalophus gillcspL 11. Neoplioca lobata. 12. Eumetoplas stelleri 

 (embracing his Arctoceplialus monteriensis and A. californianus}. 

 13. Arctoplioca pliUippii (= Arctoceplialus austr alls}. A.forsteri 

 is the only species added, while no less than six species, recognized 

 by either himself or Peters in 18G6, are reduced to synonyms. 



Gray, in 1872,t added Gypsoplioca tropicalis, based on a young* 

 skull from Auckland Island, to which specimens from Xorth 

 Australia are also referred. This Clark believes to be in part 

 based on the young of Otaria lioolceri, and in part referable to 

 Arctoceplialus cinereus. 



Scott, in 1873, in his account of the Otaviidcv,\\ described (p. 

 19) what he regarded as two new species of Arctocephalus, 

 namely, u Arctoceplialus Grayii" and ^Arctoceplialus euloplius." 

 The first is equivalent to Gray's A. falldandlcus of his Cata-
