PLATE XXI 



Fig. I. A small harem of Elephant seal, a bull with four cows and 

 their pups. A bachelor bull watches the harem from the water. 

 The backs of the cows and pups are sprinkled with the sand thrown up. 

 The head and neck of the central cow show well the light-coloured scars 

 caused by the bites of the bull, while the neck and back of the bull are 

 covered with the scars of wounds received in fighting. Notice the wet 

 patch on the side of the bull's face, due to tears streaming from the eye. 



Fig. 2. Elephant seal pups herding on the beach after leaving their 

 mothers. 



Fig. 3. A bull Elephant seal roaring, with the proboscis inflated. Com- 

 pare with Plate XXII, fig. i.
