W ALIvUS. — Trichecus Ro»maru«. 



Among all the stranp:c foniis whicli are found among the meniljcrs of this 

 family, there is none ^vhich presents a more terribly grotesque appearance than 

 that of the Walrus, Morse, or Sea Horse, as this extraordinary animal is in- 

 differently termed. 



The Walrus is found in vast herds, which frequent the coasts of the arctic and 

 antarctic regions, and which congregate in such numbers that their united roar- 

 ings have otten given timely warning to fog-bewildered sailors, and acciuainted 

 them with the near proximity of shore.
