 Australia. 



The upper and lower canines in 337 c are just appearing above 

 the gum, and the cutting-teeth and grinders are well developed. 

 The lobes on the coUar of the grinders are much more developed 

 and acute in the younger skulls than in the rather more adult ones. 



A skuU of this animal was described and figured, from a spe- 

 cimen in Mr. Brookes's collection, under the name of Arctocejohahts 

 lobatus, by Gray, in the ' Spicilegia Zoologica,' i. t. (whence the 

 Fhoca lobata of Fischer, ' Synopsis,' ii. p. 574). This Seal was 

 noticed by Gray in King's ' Narrative of Australia,' ii. p. 413, as 

 Otaria cinerea; but it is not the animal so named by Peron. The 

 skuU was noticed as Otaria Lamairii, J. MiiUer, Wiegm. Archiv, 

 1841, p. 334. Quoy and Gaimard figured (Voy. Astrol. t. x. and 

 xiv.) this Sea-bear under the name of Otaria austredis, from 

 King George's Sound, which I named Arctocephalus australis (Cat. 

 Seals, p. 57) ; and Professor Owen, in the Catalogue of the Osteo- 

 logieal Collection in Mus. Eoy. Coll. Surgeons, nos. 3964, 3965, de- 

 scribes the mutilated skuU and lower jaws of a Sea-bear (Arcto- 

 cephalus australis), which may belong to this species.
