106 ODOB^NUS ROSMARUS ATLANTIC WALRUS. 



In addition to the above-described ligm-es of tbe general ani- 

 mal, representations of various anatomical details, both of the 

 osteology and the soft parts, have been from tune to time pub- 

 lished. As early as 1761, the skull, as previously stated, was 

 figured by Houttuyn, and again by Daubenton* in 1765, these 

 being the earliest figures of the skull to which I find reference. 

 Goethe, in his "Morphologic" (see antea, P-^S), gave important 

 figures illustrative of the dentition and structure of the ante- 

 rior xjortion of the skull. 



Home, t in 1824, published a series of excellent figures of the 

 extremities and stomach. G. Cuvier, X in 182.j, figured skulls 

 and the skeleton, his figures of the skull being also reproduced 

 in the "Disciples" edition of Cuvier's Eegne Animal. Pan- 

 der and d' Alton, in 1826, in their " Vergleichende Osteolo- 

 gie,"|| gave an excellent figure of the skeleton and detail illus- 

 trations of the skull and limbs. In the figure of the skeleton, 

 the hind feet are turned forward in a plantigrade i^osition, and 

 the fore limbs are given their natural pose. Von Baer,^ in 

 1835, figured the blood-vessels of the limbs, and, in 1810, 

 De Blainville** figured the skeleton and the skull. Gray, ft 

 in 1850, gave a view of the skull, the same figure being re- 

 peated in some of his later works. || Owen, in 1845, figured! 

 the dentition in his "Odontography" (pi. cxxxii, fig. 8), the' 

 skull and dentition in 1854, and gave another figure in 

 1868. 1 1 1 1 In 1857, Walrus skulls were figured by Blasius, ^fl and 

 Leidy *** the same year figured a fossil skull from Monmouth 

 County, New Jersey. Later, as already noticed {antea, p. 54), 

 the milk dentition was figured by Malmgren, and also by 



* Buffon's Histoire Nat., tome xiii, pi. Iv. An artistically much improved 

 (but unaccredited) copy of Daubenton's figures appears in Hamilton's "Am- 

 phibious Carnivora" (Jardine's Naturalist's Library, Mam., vol. viii, pp.. 

 100, 101).
