and A. u gilliespii ") are added to those recognized by this author 

 in 1850. 



The same year (1866), Peters* recognized fourteen species 

 (three of them were treated as doubtful), as follows: 1. Otaria 

 jubata; " ? 2. Otaria leonina" ( 0. jubata) ; 3. Otaria godefroyi (n. 

 sp. = 0. jubata) j 4. u f Otaria byronia" (^=Phoca byronia, Blain- 

 ville, = 0. jubata) ; 5. Otaria liookerl ; 6. Otaria ullooc (= 0. 

 ullom, vonTschudi, = 0. jubata, fern.); 7. Otaria pusilla (=Petit 

 Phoque, Buffon, Phoca pusilla, Schreber, Otaria delalandi, F. Cu- 

 vier, etc.); 8. Otaria cinerea (= U 0. cinerea, Peron and Lesueur, 

 Quoy and Gaiinard"; u 0. stelleri, Sch^egel," in part,etc.) ; ?9. 

 Otaria falklandica (= Arctoceplialus falklandicus, auct.) ; 10. 

 Otaria ursina (=Callorhinus ursinus)', 11. Otaria stelleri (Eume- 

 topias stelleri) 5 12. Otaria gillespi (=Zaloplius californianus) 5 13. 

 Otaria lobata (= Arctocephalus lobatus, Gray, 1828, Otaria aus- 

 tralis, Quoy and Gaimard, 1830, 0. stelleri, " Schlegel,'" in 

 part, = ZalopJius lobatus) ; 14. Otaria pJiilippii (n. sp. = Arcto- 

 cepTialusfalklandicuSj auct.). Six months later, on again review- 

 ing the group,f the same writer reduced the number of species 

 to ten. In this paper he referred the 0. tyronia, 0. leonina, and 

 0. godeffroyi of his former paper to 0. jubata, and his 0. pJiilippii 

 to 0. falklandica. 0. ulloce is still retained as a valid species, 

 and " Otaria stelleri, Schlegel," is determined to be the 0. 

 gillespi, M'Bain. 



In 1868 f Dr. Gray described as a new species Arctocephalus 

 nivosus (= A. antarcticus, s. pusillus) from the Cape of Good 

 Hope, and Professor Turner added, as a new species, Arcto- 

 ceplialus schisihyperoes (later corrected to schistuperus by Giin- 

 ther), from Desolation Island, considered later by Gray,|| after 

 an examination of the type, to be referable to his A. delalandi 

 (therefore = A. antarcticus). M'Bain, the same year,ff described 

 an imperfect skull of what he called " 0. ulloce f" (= Otaria 

 jubata, fern.), adding that in case it proved to be a new species it 

 might be called " 0. graii." 



In 1870 ** I was able to recognize only six species as well 

 established, but gave two more as probably valid, the latter
