HALICIICERUS GRYPUS GRAY SEAL. 689 



this view, but if the animal were ineasuied along the curvature 

 of the body instead of in a straight line between the two extrem- 

 ities, the dimensions given would not be too large for a full- 

 grown female P. fcetida. The figures show it could not have 

 been Phoca vitulina, while Halichcerus gryptis is entirely out of 

 the question; for the phrase "parvi, veluti tricuspides, mu- 

 crone medio majore " cannot be applied to the large, conical, 

 single-pointed molars of llalichcerus, even if we had not the 

 figures to show the small size and tricuspid character of the 

 teeth.
