ADDITIONAL NOTE. 



The Walrus. — As exception has been taken to the inclusion of this 

 species as a British Mammal, it may be interesting to note that Mr. Henry 

 Jamieson, Keeper of the Skerries Lighthouse, Shetland, reports the occur- 

 rence of a Walrus which haunted the neighbourhood of the islands from 

 July till October 1920, as recorded in the Scottish ^J^turalist i^os. 107- 

 108, 1920). 



The animal was first observed early in July by the boatman and his son 

 while lifting a fishing line inshore at the entrance of Angry Sound, when it 

 followed the boat for some distance, about fifty yards astern. 



It was subsequently seen at various times, the last being on October 

 13th, when it was observed by Mr. Jamieson. 



The tusks in this example were estimated at from 12 to 15 inches long. 



According to Mr. Jamieson, Walruses have been seen in the same 

 neighbourhood twice previously during the last fifty years.
