34 HAND-LIST OF SEALS, MOKSES, 



1859 I figured the adult skull (t. Ixix.), under the name of Arctoce- 

 plialus Delalandii. Le petit Phoque figured by Buffou, said to come 

 from India, is probably the young of this species ; and this account 

 of the animal has given rise to Phoca parva, Phoca pusilla, and 

 Phoca Peronii. 



6. EUOTARIA. 



Arctocephalus, sp., Gray, Suppl. Cat. Seals ir Whales, p. 17. 



Skull depressed, broad behind. The sixth upper grinder quite 

 behind the hinder edge of the front of the zygomatic arch. The 

 grinders of the upper and lower jaw compressed, with an elongate 

 triangular central crown, with a collaret on the inner side, and with 

 a small lobe on the back and often on the front edge. The fourth, 

 fifth, and sixth upper grinders with two diverging roots. 



The adult skulls of the Euotarim in the British Museum, as di- 

 stinguished from the larger species from the Cape, are of about the 

 same state of development, and they are probably nearly all of the 

 same sex. They all have the palates well formed and the occipital 

 and frontal ridges well developed ; but the bones are not very com- 

 pletely united, and the teeth are in nearly the same state of deve- 

 lopment. 



The six cutting-teeth in Euotaria nir/rescens, Falkland Islands, 

 and E. cinerea, New Zealand, occupy the same space, and are much 

 of the same size, 1 inch wide. In Euotaria latirostns (1013 d) the 

 cutting-teeth occupy a larger space, 1-2- inch, the chief difference being 

 in the separation of the four middle cutting-teeth. There are 

 several other differences in these skulls.
