{ 

 being Arctocepludus cinermis, 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. Jiool-eri, 

 Gray) ; 2. Etimetopias stelleri;3. Zaloplms gillespi ; 4l. Zaloplius 

 lohatus ; 5. CallorMnus ursimis ; 6. Arctoceplialus falldandmis. 



In 1871, PhiUppi and Peters* added Arctocej)lialus {Arcto- 

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

 { = Arctoce2)JialusanstraUs,fem.). The latter here divided the 

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

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

 two {A. argentata and A. pliili'pjyii) 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, 0. Mronia, O.ullom of 

 Peters). 2. CallorMnus ursinus. 3. PJiocarctos Jiool'erL 4:. Arcto- 

 cejokalus antarcticus (Cape of Good Hope = Phoca antarcticay 

 Thunberg, 1811, and Phoca [s. Otaria] pusUla and delaJandi, 

 auct.). 6. Arctoceplialus nigrescens {=A. australis). 6. Arcto- 

 cejjJialus cinereus. 7. Arctoceplialus forsteri ("IN'ew Zealand, "= 

 ''Plioca ursina, Forster," = Otaria forsteri, Lesson, formerly re- 

 ferred by him to his A. falldandicus !). 8. Arctocepliahis fallc- 

 landicus. d. '-'Arctoceplialus'? nivosus'^'' {=. A. antarcticus). 10. 

 Zaloplius gillespi. 11. Neoplioca lohata. 12. JEmnetopias stelleri 

 (embracing his Arctocepludus monteriensis and J., californianus). 

 13. Arctoplioca 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,| added Gypsoplioca tropicalis, based on a young- 

 skull from Auckland Island, to which specimens from Xorth 

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

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

 Arctoceplialus cinereus. 



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

 19) what he regarded as two new species of Arctoceplialus ^ 

 namely, ^'Arctoceplialus Grayii^^ and '''Arctoeeplialus euloplius.^^ 

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