1872), when they included Phoca vitulma in their list of Upper 

 Crag Mammals, also referred to this humerus ; but it differs in 

 some important characters from the humerus of that species. A 

 radius and a tooth from the Forest-bed at West .Runton have been 

 recorded and called Phoca (Vert. Forest Bed, p. 29, 1882). The 

 teeth which Sir R. Owen (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., Vol. XII., 

 p. 226, 1856) thought might perhaps belong to Phoca have not 

 since been recognised as such. 



Portions of characteristic humeri and femora of Seals have been 

 met with in the Nodule-bed of the Red Crag, but most of them 

 are too much broken and rolled to admit of definite identification. 

 Two humeri, however, in the collection of Mr. E. C. Moor, of 

 Great Bealings, are more perfect than usual, and are described 

 below. 



PHOCA (ERIGNATHUS) BARB ATA, FABRICIUS. 

 (Bearded Seal.) 



A fine humerus, agreeing precisely with the same bone of the 

 Bearded Seal, has been described from the Forest-bed of Over- 

 strand (Geol. Mag., Dec. 3, Vol. VI., p. 147, 1889), and more 

 recently a radius, apparently belonging to the same species, has 

 been found in the same deposit. Both specimens are in the collec- 

 tion of Mr. A. Savin, of Cromer. 



Phoca barbata is now living in the northern parts of the 

 Atlantic and in the Arctic Seas. 



PHOCA MOORI, NEWTON. 

 PLATE II., FIG. 2, a, b. 



The greater part of a small left humerus of a Seal from the 

 Red Crag Nodule-bed, Foxhall, four miles S.W. of Woodbridge, 

 preserved in the collection of Mr. E. C. Moor, of Great Bealings, 

 has been named after that gentleman (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., 

 Vol. XL VI., p. 446, 1890). In form this humerus most nearly 

 resembles that of Phoca vitulinoides, described by Prof. Van 

 Beneden (Ann. Mus. Roy. Belg., Vol. I., Part i., p. 72, Plate xv., 

 1877), but it is much smaller and more slender. 



The Museum of Practical Geology has recently obtained, 

 through Mr. T. Jesson, a similar humerus from the Red Crag 

 Nodule-bed of Waidringfield. 



Genus PHOCANELLA, Beneden. 

 PHOCANELLA MINOR, v. BENEDEN. 



To this genus and species have been referred a portion of a 

 humerus from the Red Crag Nodule-bed, Foxhall, four miles S.W.
