1020 e. Plaster cast of the typical skull of a female, described by 

 Prof. Turner. Canines slender ; palate narrow, imperfectly de- 

 veloped behind, leaving a large elongate hinder opening to the 

 nostrils. (PI. XXV.) 

 Cape of Good Hope. Presented by Prof. Turner. 



This may be the female of Eaotaria cotripressa, as the palate is 

 only slightly contracted behind the last grinder ; but it differs in the 

 palate being very narrow in front, and it is imperfectly developed 

 behind, and the zygoma is more convex on the sides. 



I formerly thought that this skuU, coming from South Africa, might 

 be the young of Arctoeephalus antarcticus ; but having had the oppor- 

 tunity of examining a skull with perfect crowns to the lower grinders 

 of that species, it shows that this cannot be the young of it, but 

 belongs to the group Eiwtaria, which has the same conical com- 

 pressed crowns to the grinders in the upper and lower jaw. 



This skull somewhat resembles Otarla PMlippii figured by Prof. 

 Peters, Monatsb. 1866, tab. 2, a, b, c ; but the teeth are very much 

 smaller and more lobed. The lower jaw is nearly the same size as the 

 skuU figured by Dr. Peters, but the fifth lower grinder comes oppo- 

 site to the fourth in his figure. The grinders in both jaws are 

 further apart than they are in the Juan Fernandez species.

This may be the skin of Euotaria compres.'ia or scliisiliyperoes, 

 which is said to come from the Cape.

The fifth upper grinder on each side wanting, and the sixth sepa- 

 rated from the fourth by a wide space. In the very young skull 

 there is evidently a rudiment of a fifth upper grinder near the side 

 of the fourth in front of the space that separates the fourth from the 

 sixth grinder.
