 Mr. Gill says that this is a typical species of Phoca, but appears 

 to be identical with those that occur along the Cahfornian and Ore- 

 gonian coast, so that there must be some error as to the assigned 

 habitat in the Antarctic seas — and proposes the name Phoca Pealii 

 (Prcc. Essex Instit. vol. v. p. 4).
