being Arctocephalus cinereus, Gray (Australia and New Zealand), 

 and A. antarcticus. Gray (Cape of Good Hope). The others are : 

 1. Otaria jubata (under which was wrongly included 0. liookeri, 

 Gray) 5 2. JEumetopias* stelleri; 3. ZalopJms gillespi ; 4. Zaloplms 

 lobatus ; 5. Callorhinus ur sinus ; 6. Arctoceplialus falldandicus. 



In 1871, Philippi and Peters* added Arctoceplialus (Arcto- 

 plioea) argentata, a Fur Seal from the island of Juan Fernandez 

 ( = Arctoceplialus australis, fern.). The latter here divided the 

 Fur Seals of South America into four species, two of which (A. 

 falklandica and A. nigrescens) are from the Atlantic Ocean and 

 two ( A. argentata and A. pliilippii) from the Pacific. 



The same year (1871) Grayt recognized thirteen species of 

 Eared Seals, as follows : 1. Otaria jubata (embracing 0. leonina 

 of Gray and Peters, and 0. godeffroyi, Q. bironia, 0. ulloce of 

 Peters). 2. Callorhinus ur sinus. 3. Pliocarctos hoolceri. 4. Arcto- 

 cephalus antarcticus (Cape of Good Hope = Phoca antarctica, 

 Thunberg, 1811, and Phoca [s. Otaria] pusilla and delalandi, 

 auct.). ^.Arctocephalus nigrescens (=A. australis). 6. Arcto- 

 ceplialus cinereus. 7. Arctocephalus forsteri ("New Zealand, "= 

 u Phoca ursina, Forster," = Otaria forsteri, Lesson, formerly re- 

 ferred by him to his A. falklandicus /). 8. Arctoceplialus falk- 

 landicus. 9. " Arctoceplialus ? nivosus n (=A. antarcticus). 10. 

 Zaloplms gillespi. 11. Neophoca lobata. 12. Eumetopias stelleri 

 (embracing his Arctocephalus monteriensis and A. calif or nianus). 

 13. Arctophoca pliilippii (=. Arctoceplialus australis). A. forsteri 

 is the only species added, while no less than six species, recognized 

 by either himself or Peters in 1866, are reduced to synonyms. 



Gray, in 1872,J added Gypsophoca tropicalis, based on a young 

 skull from Auckland Island, to which specimens from North 

 Australia are also referred. This Clark believes to be in part 

 based on the young of Otaria hookeri, and in part referable to 

 Arctocephalus cinereus. 



Scott, in 1873, in his account of the Otariidce,\\ described (p. 

 19) what he regarded as two new species of Arctocephalus, 

 namely, "Arctocephalus Qrayii" and " Arctoceplialus eulophus." 

 The first is equivalent to Gray's A. falldandicus of his Cata-
