locality simply as the "Southern seas." In the Zoology of the Erebus 

 and Terror he redescribed these specimens in greater detail, adding the 

 locality of capture, and giving figures of both the animal and skull. In 

 both these accounts he adopted the specific name appropriately given it 

 by Lesson, and by which it has since been uniformly known, except in 

 one or two instances of inadvertence. The only synonym, and one which 

 has never had currency, is the Phoca leopardiiia of Hamilton, who thus 

 rendered the " Leopardine Seal " of Jameson, contained in an inedited 

 contribution to Weddell's "Voyage," and wrongly attributed the name to 

 Jameson.
