SUPPLEMENT. 319 



Suborder CARNIVORA PINNIPEDIA. 



Family PHOCID^E (pt. i. p. 205). 



The incisive dental formula for the family is I. ^|| ; the one 

 given in Part i. being that of the subfamily Phocince. 



Genus PHOCA (pt. i. p. 205). 

 Phoca rugosidens, Owen \ 



The reference of this small undescribed species to the type genus 

 must be regarded as provisional. The teeth are characterized by 

 their rugose enamel. 



Hob. Maltese Islands. 



37971. Three cheek-teeth ; from the Miocene of the Island of Gozo, 

 (Fig,} near Malta. These specimens are the types, and are 



noticed and figured by Leith-Adams in the ' Quart. Journ . 



Geol. Soc.' vol. xxxv. p. 524, pi. xxv. figs. 2 a, 2b, 2 c. 



Presented by Prof. Leith-Adams, 1863. 



M. 3574. A considerable portion of the skeleton of a small Seal, not 

 improbably from the Miocene of the Maltese Islands, and 

 if so perhaps belonging to the present species. The femur 

 agrees very closely with that of Phoca. No history. 



Generically undetermined. 



33243. Part of the left ramus of the mandible of a large Seal ; from 

 the Miocene of Malta. This specimen is noticed by Leith- 

 Adams in the 'Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc.' vol. xxxv. p. 525, 

 where it is provisionally referred to Phoca rugosidens, but 

 it apparently indicates a considerably larger form.
