 name cldUnsis {Lcpus chdcnsis Oken, 18 16), is shown to have one year's priority over 

 maximus [Dipiis viaxhntis Desmarest, e.\ Blainville), so that the Argentine Viscacha

Phoca jjibata Schreber is assigned to the Northern Sea Lion, following the restriction 

 made by Peron in 1S16 ; Otaria byronia ( Blainville) is shown to be the earliest avail-

 shown to be a pure synonym of Otaria Peron, 18 16.
