 Ency. Mitkod, as constituting" merely a g'roup in the s^eiuis Phoca, dis- 

 tinguished by the cutaneous apj)endag:e to the liead, or a sort of trunk to 

 the snout ; but as the cheek tectli of all tlic species appear to be cetaceous, 

 Mr. Gray proposes separating' Iheni into a subgenus, whicii we have
