SEALS. ° 41 
Brookes’s Museum, which I described as Arctocephalus lobatus, 
are called O. Stelleri: some are said to come from Japan and 
others from New Holland. 
In King (Narrat. Austral. 1. 414, 1828) I pointed out the 
distinction between the Fur Seal of New South Shetland and the 
Hair Seal of Australia. 
The skull from the cabinet of M. Faujus which Cuvier figures 
(Oss. Foss. v. 222. t. 18. f. 4), is much more like the skull of an 
adult Arctocephalus than of Otaria jubata; the outer and upper 
cutting teeth are scarcely larger than the others. 
There are ten skulls of this genus in the Paris Museum :— 
1, 2. From the Cape of Good Hope. Adult and half-grown. 
The palates become narrower behind. The front outer upper 
cutting rather large: grinders large, all except first and hinder 
upper with two lobes.—See Cuv. Oss. Foss. 221. t. 18. f. 5. 
3. Old skull from Parzudasky. 
4. From Australia, by MM. Quoy and Gaimard. 
5. Adult. From Port Jackson. P. cinerea. Very little dif- 
ferent from the adult from the Cape of Good Hope. 
6, 7. Imperfect. King George’s Sound. MM. Quoy and Gai- 
mard (Cuv. Oss. Foss. 222; Blainv. l. c. 300). , 
8. Adult. Auckland? The Zélée, 1841. 
9, 10. From America, by M. D’Orbigny. The grinders larger, 
more acute, and rather further apart. 
* Fur long, under coat thick, soft, silky. Fur Seals. 
1. ARCTOCEPHALUS URSINUS. 
“Hair long, erect, thick, under-fur brownish red. Males 
black, older ones with the hairs white-tipped, the hair of the 
neck longer and stiff; females ash-coloured; of the very young 
black ; flaps of hinder toes very long, slender. Length 8 or 9 
- feet.’
