The upper and lower canines in 337 c are just appearing above 

 the gum, and the cutting-teeth and grinders are well developed. 

 The lobes on the collar of the grinders are much more developed 

 and acute in the younger skulls than in the rather more adult ones. 



A skull of this animal was described and figured, from a spe- 

 cimen in Mr. Brookes's collection, under the name of Arctocej)lialus 

 lobatus, by Gray, in the ' SpicUegia Zoologica,' i. t. (whence the 

 Phoca lobata of Fischer, ' Synopsis,' ii. p. 574). This Seal was 

 noticed by Gray in King's ' jS^arrative of Australia,' ii. p. 413, as 

 Otaria cinerea ; but it is not the animal so named b}' Peron. The 

 skuU was noticed as Otaria Lamairii, J. Miiller, Wiegm. Archiv, 

 1841, p. 334. Quoy and Gaimard figured (Voy. Astrol. t. x. and 

 xiv.) this Sea-bear under the name of Otaria aiistralis, from 

 King George's Sound, which I named Arctocejihalus australis (Cat. 

 Seals, p. 57) ; and Professor Owen, in the Catalogue of the Osteo- 

 logical Collection in Mus. Roy. Coll. Surgeons, nos. 3964, 3965, de- 

 scribes the mutilated skull and lower jaws of a Sea-bear (Arcto- 

 cephalus australis), which may belong to this species.
