^ Halichcerus antarctica, Peale, described in Cassin's edition of 'The

 under the command of Charles Wilkes, U.S.N. Mammalogy and Ornithology,' 

 1858, is sometimes referred to Lobodon carcinophagus, but Gill, who examined 

 the type in the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, found it to be a skull of a 

 species of Phoea, inhabiting the coast of Oregon and California, and renamed it 

 P. pealei. See Prodrome of a Monograph of the Pinnipedes, Comm. Essex Institute, 

 vol. V. pp. 4 & 6, footnotes, July 1866. 



2 The exact date of publication of these plates is unknown. It was at all 

 events prior to 1844, for they are alluded to by Gray in ' The Zoology of the 

 Voyage of H.M.S. " Erehus" and " Terror."'
