Pagomys fcetidus (the Marbled Seal), Gray, Cat. Seals and 
Whales, p. 28. Phoca foetida, Miiller. P. hispida, O. Fabr. 
P. annellata, Nilsson. P. discolor, F. Cuvier, Mém. Mus. xi. 
p- 189, t. xii. f. 3 (skull). Inhabits Arctic and North Sea, occa- 
sionally visiting the shores of Great Britain. England; Nilsson, 
1820. Coast of Norfolk; Brightwell, 1846. The seal of the 
Severn, which Professor Nilsson regarded first as P. annellata, 
and then as P. grenlandica, Mr. Ball thinks, from its small size 
and the form of the intermaxillary bones, is neither, and that it has 
yet to be determined. (Ball, Proc. Roy. Irish Academy, 1836, 19, 
t. 32—35). The specimen and skull in the Norfolk Museum was 
presented by Mr. J. H. Gurney, who bought it in the Norwich fish- 
market in 1846. Mr. Brightwell sent the skull to me for examina- 
tion, and I determined and marked it “ Phoca annellata, Nilsson” 
(the marbled seal), and the skull is still labelled “ Marbled Seal.”
