3336 THE ZooLocist—DEcEMBER, 1872. 
3. PacopuiLus.—Branches of lower jaw diverging; lower edge 
of lower jaw dilated on the inner side; palate truncated behind ; 
angle of lower jaw acute behind. Whiskers waved. Web between 
hind toes nearly bald. Under fur none. 
Fig. 2.—Pacopninus Granianpicus (skull). 
Pagophilus grcenlandicus (Harp Seal). Inhabits the North Sea, 
Shetland, after very bad weather (Saxby, ‘ Zoologist,’ 1864, p. 9099). 
Dr. Murie (P. Z. S. 1870, p. 604, t. xxxii.) publishes a good figure 
of this animal. He observes, “ When the skin was wet there was 
nothing to distinguish them from C. vitulina. When dry they had 
a white coat, and instead of minute regular dark spots, they had 
irregular bands and slashes of a dark hue, intermixed with sparse 
circular spots, and the elder ones had a broad loin-patch of a deep 
blackish shade. A half-grown seal, taken at Isleworth! is in the 
collection of a brewer residing there, and has been referred to this 
species. Unfortunately the skull and bones were not preserved, so 
that it is impossible to determine it. 
I have never seen a specimen of Phoca barbata from the coast 
of Great Britain, probably the Halichcerus grypus was the seal 
that was taken for it.

in front. Nose-hole very large. Grinders conical; the two 
hinder of the upper and the hinder one of the lower jaw
