 So far as the evidence has been presented, there seems to be no good 

 reason for recognizing more than a single species of Sea Elephant in the 

 southern seas, with which the California Sea Elephant is so closely related 

 as to have been considered by some authors as doubtfully distinct from the 

 southern species. Three names have been, at one time or another, more 

 or less current for the species, as shown by the above citations, namely, 

 leonina [Phoca leonina Linn., 1758), elephantina [Phoca elephantina Molina, 

 1 782), zndproboscidea [Phoca proboscidea Peron, 1 816). The type locality 

 of Phoca leonina is Juan Fernandez Island, and of Phoca elephantina the 

 coast of Chili, including the Juan Fernandez Islands, the name having been 

 proposed as a substitute for Phoca leonina. Peron gave the name Phoca 

 proboscidea to the Sea Elephant of the southern seas at large. Phoca 

 resima of the same author has special reference to the Sea Elephant " des
